Force or encourage schools to allow their teachers to work from home.
Moving learning online should enable teachers to protect themselves and their families not just the pupils they educate.
Some schools haven’t reduced staffing levels in response to pupil numbers. This is counter productive, and makes less time available to create quality online provision.
Some schools have been slow to act in protecting their staff and not considered the potential impact this has on the lives and well being of their staff.
The daily movement of all staff will still add to the spread of Covid. This will become more dangerous as weather worsens.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Under the current lockdown people are required to work from home unless this is not possible. The Government's guidance states that employers and employees should discuss their working arrangements, and employers should take every possible step to facilitate their employees working from home, including providing suitable IT and equipment to enable remote working, but deciding whether individual employees can work from is a decision for individual employers, not the Government or House of Commons: www.gov.uk/guidance/national-lockdown-stay-at-home#going-to-work
You could start a petition calling for all school premises to be closed, so that only remote teaching can take place, if that is something you want to happen.
