Give children the meals that they deserve.
Change their decision on giving children the free meals that they deserve. It is a basic human right that is stated in the United Nations Convention of the Right of a Child act. Every child should be given the things they deserve to have a good start to life.
They need to look at how their actions will properly affect children, families and other services. They need to re-evaluate their decision on stopping children getting free meals. Especially at christmas and in this time of need.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
Free school meals are usually only offered to eligible pupils during term time. The Government has launched a £170m Covid Winter Grant Scheme to support children, families and the most vulnerable to March 2021, with at least 80% of this funding earmarked to support with food and bills. The Holiday Activities and Food programme will also cover the Easter, Summer and Christmas holidays in 2021.
