What the petition asks
Fund 30 hours childcare per week for working parents in northern Ireland
England have 30 hours free childcare for working parents, northern ireland should have the same!!
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for. Decisions about free childcare in Northern Ireland are a matter for the Northern Ireland Executive and Northern Ireland Assembly, not the UK Government or Parliament.
If you want to raise this issue you could contact your MLA, or raise it with the Northern Ireland Executive.
