Hospital Treatment should not count towards School Absence figures

Petition Details

We think the Government should exclude days when a child is hospitalized and receiving treatment from their total annual class absence figure. We think there should be a clear distinction between a child reported as being ill vs a child receiving active hospital care.

Additional Information

We think days in the Hospital should not be reported as "absent" as there is no physical way attendance can be achieved or expected.

If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
