Let parents decide when it's safe for their children to go back to school.
We want the government to let parents decide when their children return to schools if they reopen them whilst Covid-19 is still infecting people without fear of proscecution and losing their places at school.
When the government finally reopen schools, if this is before September 2020 they should let parents know that they won't be prosecuted or persecuted for choosing to keep their children home.
This is important because there are many parents worrying that they will forced to send their children to school amidst a deadly virus when they have vulnerable family members at home.
Even those without vulnerable family members at home should be free to decide what's best for their children and family.
