Ensure our kids are not used as Covid Guinea Pigs - Keep schools shut.
We want the government to commit to ensuring that schools will remain closed until the number of new, daily Covid-19 cases are consistently low enough to know that is is safe to reopen schools, beyond all reasonable doubt.
We do not want our children being used as Guinea Pigs in the fight against Covid-19. There is not enough evidence to say that children are immune, and it will also pose risk to our families and our childrens' teachers and their families, if the UK government decides to see what happens if we reopen schools. Keep them shut until it is beyond reasonable doubt that it is safe to reopen.
