Prioritise Free Childcare for Working Parents
We are in a ridiculous situation where working parents are not given free childcare until their children are 3 but children from families who don't work get much more help much earlier. This needs to stop and we need to start looking after and rewarding our workers, making it worthwhile to work!
Help needs to be given to those who need it. Not, with respect, to those who aren't going out to work in the day. While I appreciate research that shows children from non working families benefit from provision of early years childcare we also need to appreciate that government funding is not a bottomless pit and funds must be allocated sensibly. Childcare can take more than half of a person's salary, this needs to change if we want to keep tax payers working and paying into the system.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do to prioritise working parents.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a new petition asking the UK Government and Parliament to fund free childcare for all children aged two and above, if that's something you'd like to happen.
