Rejected petition Relax social distancing rules for English children under 12.

Allows English children under 12 the same freedom to grow, play and form relationships with other children just as they can in Scotland and Wales. Removing social distancing will allow scouting, drama, art groups etc to restart and allow access to The diverges experiences life is here to offer.

More details

Our children have been inprisioned by rules for 6 months. This is a huge chunk of their development emotionally, socially and intellectually that has been effected.

Recent data shows younger children are not catching or transmitting the virus as different ages groups. They should no longer be limited and controlled and allowed the ability to rejoin clubs, be with friends and develop social skills needed for life.
