Consider exempting under 12s from the social distancing rule of 6 law in England
As is proposed in Wales and Scotland, please consider exempting under 12s from proposed social distancing law changes
As a parent with 3 young children this rule will effectively isolate our whole family, whereas in Wales and Scotland a different tact is being taken based on the same scientific evidence. The main reason to ask is so that our children can have some form of family and friend contact to give them some sense of normality at this time.
