For self employed new mums to not be discriminated against in the 80% gov help

Petition Details

when working out 80% of profits for the self employed over last 3 years, to take maternity time into account. The simplest way would be to not recognise the tax return for the year of giving birth, as this won’t be a true representation of the profitability of the individual.Verify via birth records

Additional Information

I understand this isn’t a perfect system and the government is trying to help as many people as quickly as possible; but this oversight affects only women and that can’t be right.
Also, self employed new mums make up a huge portion of ALL new mums. These women also can’t now work from as no available childcare so everyone’s income is virtually zero. (Can’t teach from home with a baby/toddler!) Would be the right thing to do for all mothers and virtually impossible to abuse as there’s birth records
