Petition Action

Remove fines and/restrictions for taking holidays in term time

Additional Information

Parents should be free to choose when they wish to take family holidays and not risk facing hefty fines.

The nature of many parents employment means it is either impractical or impossible to restrict holidays to school holiday time.

Family holiday time is important in maintaining family bonds, a good quality of life and work life balance.

Travel companies should be regulated to prevent massive price hikes during school holidays in order to encourage those that are able to holiday outside of term time do so!
