Closed Ban the use of "Attendance Certificates" in schools in England.

Closed on

The use of Attendance Certificates in schools discriminates against children whose attendance is affected by long term illness, injuries or disabilities.

Incentivising attendance in the workplace is illegal for this same reason and should therefore also be banned in schools in England.

Children are also victimised by their school friends as the practise draws attention to them as the cause of a whole class Attendance Certificate being unattainable.
