Covid-19 Zero penalties for parents who remove children from school.
We ask that the government to allow parents who can and want to remove their children from school during the covid-19 pandemic can do so without being penalised by the government or losing their child's place in their school.
We are asking the government to abolish all penalties and no loss of school places for parents who can and want to remove their children from school during covid-19.
The government states closures will not necessarily prevent spread despite evidence that children are carriers to coronavirus.
They say parents still have to work and childcare would be an issue, but not all parents would need childcare.
Less children in school would mean smaller class sizes meaning less spread of infection.
