Require that schools allow uniform purchase from any supplier

What the petition asks
We believe that the government should bring a piece of legislation that states schools should have to allow more freedom with their uniform rules to allow for cheaper, durable and comfortable clothing options that can be brought from any supplier, not just sourced from one.
We think that schools have strict uniform policies, so much so that you can often only buy the uniforms from one supplier. Due to the rising cost of living, this can have a severe impact on household expenses. It also doesn't take into account children who may have sensory issues e.g. uncomfortable with certain materials or fastenings.
