Rejected petition Authorised absences at school for children with underlying health conditions
Rejected on
Stop the schools and local authorities handing out fines to children with underlying health conditions during the corona virus pandemic, if as parents we choose to keep our children safe.
As parents of children with higher risk of catching viruses and illness, we want to put the safety of our children first and shouldn’t be fined for it.
