Petition Action

Review the policy of self isolation for 10 days for school children

Petition Details

375,000 school children are currently isolating, their education along with their sports days are cancelled. Meanwhile LF testing permits entrance to football stadiums.

Please urgently implement an optional test to release scheme so children can attend schools until the end of the school year.

Additional Information

The continued disruption and chaos to the education of young people is likely to cause irreparable damage. Allowing this predicament to continue without genuine necessity for it, is inexcusable.

The next generation have, quite rightly made hard sacrifices to protect the health of the nation. The government owe it to them to do the right thing now and prioritise this matter urgently.
