Extend free childcare to Tier 2 visa holders

Petition Details

Most humbly request the government to extend the basic facility - 30 hours of childcare - to working parents who are Tier 2 visa holders. We equally contribute to the public funds through our taxes. As tax payers we deserve this basic right of childcare so that we can work stress free.

Additional Information

Presently Tier 2 visa holders have no access to public funds. We appreciate that we are not citizens of the country and therefore not eligible to many other benefits/uses from public funds, which is fair enough. However, being equal tax payers in the country, enjoying no special tax subsidy of being a foreigner, we as Tier 2 visa holders deserve atleast a basic right of child care on humanitarian grounds. It will help to work stress free whilst our kids are taken care of. Most humble request.
