Protect Parents

Petition Details

Protect parents when they can’t work from home when the children have to self isolate. So they aren’t forced to take either unpaid leave or forced to take annual leave.

Additional Information

So parents don’t lose out on any income when they have to stay at home to look after their children. As children can’t be left alone parents have to look after them and they can’t get any help with child care as the children can’t leave their homes.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Parents on low incomes who have to stay at home to look after a child who is self-isolating, and who cannot work from home, can already claim a Test and Trace Support Payment of £500. You can find out more about how to claim for this here: www.gov.uk/test-and-trace-support-payment.

If there was a specific change you would like the Government to make to this scheme, such as a change to the total amount or the eligibility criteria, you could start a petition about that.
