Petition Allow students aged 16+ whose parents receive financial aid to gain employment.

Students who's parents receive financial aid from the governments benefits system should be allowed to gain employment as they currently are not. If a parent or career receives benefits then the house hold income must stay the same to what is provided by the government.

More details

By allowing students to gain employment it allows them to learn financial sustainability and also gives them vital work experience which is widely needed to gain future employment. I am a 17 year old student who has to volunteer to use up spare time as I cant gain employment. I would like to earn my own money but cant due to legal reasons. Even if I could only earn a certain amount would be better than none. So please help me with this petition and sign and share to gain work rights for students
