No Prosecution for Parents who Remove Child from School/College during COVID-19
Legislate to allow parents the option to remove their children from school if there is a pandemic e.g. COVID-19 or similar without negative action by schools/colleges or local authorities. They shouldn’t lose the child’s place in the school or face any kind of prosecution.
Currently, there is no cure or reliable vaccine and professionals don't know enough about the disease to 100% ensure our children & families are safe. If a child picked the virus up at school/college and are symptomatic they will pass it to family member that could be old or vulnerable. Also many children are vulnerable and have health issues.
We understand the importance of education. However, parents should be given the option as it’s a safe guarding concern and should be taken seriously.
