Fund 30 hours of childcare per week for student nurses and midwives

Petition Details

We want the government to make it possible for student nurses and midwives to study and fund 30 hours of free childcare per week. We have to do long placement hours.

Additional Information

We feel the learning support fund does not cover childcare. Student nurses can struggle to find paid work due to long placement shifts.
