Make schools use all the safety measures required in all other indoor settings
Put in place all of the same Covid safety measures, as are required in all other indoor settings where households mix into UK schools.
Prioritise safety in order to have a safe and sustainable education provision for all throughout a global pandemic.
The long-term effects of even asymptomatic infections are still unknown. Unnecessarily exposing pupils, school staff and their families to an as yet not fully understood novel virus is an example of organisational abuse.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We understand you'd like the restrictions on schools to change, however it's not clear what you'd like them to change to - the restrictions on indoor settings vary depending on the nature of the setting itself.
If there are specific restrictions on certain other indoor settings that you'd like to apply to schools, you could start a petition about that.
In the meantime, you might like to sign the following petitions which call for related actions:
