This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Petition Term Time Job Contracts for Parents
Term time jobs will allow thousands of parents to work and be at home with their children during school holidays. This should be accessible for parents with children aged 5-16
More details
Enforcing companies to employ a ratio of term time contracts dependant on staff numbers will allow parents to return to work and still take care of their children. This will get many people off of benefits and back into work. Many lone parents such as myself want to work but also want to be at home while our children are young to raise them and spend quality time with them. Students could be placed on temporary contracts during school holidays to fill the term time contractors.
