What the petition asks
The proposed implementation disadvantages those with children currently eligible from accessing as their children will inevitably be too old to benefit by time it comes in. This will cause many families to delay returning to work and increasing the time they are away from full-time employment.
By immediately implementing the scheme and growing supply at the same time it will enable more people to enter the jobs market by providing workforce in the form of parents able to return and employment in the form of positions for child minders.
