Support grandparents by Matching Scotland’s rule of 6 and not counting under 12s
Many families have more than 2 grandchildren and can’t meet up under the new rule of 6! This will impact upon the mental health of the country and the economy. If the government changes the rule to the same as that of Scotland it would really help and be more fair to families in England.
I have three grandchildren in London and wasn’t able to see them or help during lockdown. The new rule means I am back in the same position and can’t support them by having them to visit me in Yorkshire. By adopting Scotland’s rule of 6 so many families will not suffer just because their offspring have more than 2 children. My daughter’s 3 children includes twins and she really needs family to help out. This is especially important in holiday times like half term and Christmas
