To be considered the furlough for Supply Teachers in England

What the petition asks
To be considered the furlough for Supply Teachers in England. The schools are working at lower capacity, to be offered support only to vulnerable and keyworkers' children, covered only by the permanent staff. The Supply Teachers are not able to work, but meanwhile are led to despair.
The Agencies are not giving support, unwilling to pay NI and taxes out of their pocket and even refuse the staff to pay themselves the costs, unless they will have any income.
The furlough scheme need to be reviewed, because the income of thousands English Supply Teachers has been terminated, because of the lockdown measures. The Supply Teachers and their families are suffering without forthcoming income or even news for it.
