What the petition asks
Every child in UK should be able to access 1 free uniform every school year. The cost of living is increasing and children are suffering.
Every parent or guardian should be able to claim, via the school, 1 free uniform per year. Not all families will claim this and not all need it but those that do will rely on it. Children are going to school in slippers and pyjamas and the teachers are buying uniforms and shoes to bridge the gap. There should not be a gap.
