Petition Action

Allow parents to attend sports day / school events

Petition Details

Seriously consider lifting the ban on parents attending school events - support children at this time is critical considering the amount they’ve missed out on recently.
They need more support and normality

Additional Information

Football stadiums and pubs are being supported but yet the children our next generation are being forgotten.
Pubs, stadiums and restaurants are all I closed but yet parents are being banned from standing in an open field providing support and encouragement to their children.
