Leaving them to give their child to a stranger which is expensive and potentially puts them at risk. All requests to be accepted even if they overlap","additional_details":"I propose we make it legal that if you have 1 or more children under 16 and you request a week off during the school holidays to cover childcare, your company cannot refuse. Currently each company have their own rules around staffing, 1 person off at a time for example. Meaning you need to find a stranger to watch your child and pay for the risky privilege. Companies refuse to pay for cover for that week and we lose out. It helps families financially in a big big way and also stops worry.","committee_note":null,"state":"closed","signature_count":7,"created_at":"2018-04-02T20:08:33.517Z","updated_at":"2018-10-09T23:00:00.288Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2018-04-09T17:11:48.134Z","closed_at":"2018-10-09T22:59:59.999Z","moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2018-04-03T07:32:49.204Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":7}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"Broadland","ons_code":"E14000603","mp":null,"signature_count":1},{"name":"Cannock Chase","ons_code":"E14000618","mp":null,"signature_count":1},{"name":"Derby South","ons_code":"E14000663","mp":null,"signature_count":3},{"name":"Mid Derbyshire","ons_code":"E14000814","mp":null,"signature_count":1},{"name":"Nottingham South","ons_code":"E14000867","mp":null,"signature_count":1}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"East Midlands","ons_code":"E","signature_count":5},{"name":"West Midlands","ons_code":"F","signature_count":1},{"name":"East of England","ons_code":"G","signature_count":1}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
