Rejected petition Offer 15 hours free childcare to keyworks.

At the moment only children who’s parents claim
Certain benefits of earn less than £16,000 receive 15 hours free child care. Any key worker named in the covid list should be given 15 hours free child care.

More details

It has now become apparent how much key workers are important to keep the country going.
If both parents fall under key worker list the government should help to fund childcare to allow them to work. The covid pandemic has shown how vital these people are. Why should those claiming benefits be entitled but those on the front line not.
