What the petition asks
In light of the cost of living crisis we want the Government to review entitlements to parental leave and pay, and also access to childcare. This should include consideration of increasing rights to parental leave and pay, and options for reducing the cost of childcare.
Childcare costs could be reduced by introducing state-run childcare facilities, or increasing entitlements to free childcare.
