Petition Action

Relax school fines from September due to coronavirus.

Petition Details

Relax the school fines for taking children out of school for holidays after going back to school while the pandemic is currently controlling our lives.

Additional Information

Due to coronavirus many families have had to cancel, rebook and postpone family holidays both in the uk and abroad.

Many company’s are offering familys to rebook for a date when they will be allowed to reopen rather then taking a refund which will not help businesses stay afloat.

Most of these holidays are going to have to be moved to term time holidays Due to parents needing to take annual leave and the cost of holidays now increasing due to demand.

Parents and children have suffered enough in this pandemic without having to now worry about extra financial burdens!
