Rejected petition Allow children of shielding families to learn from home.

Put provisions in place for the children of shielding families to able to work from home via video link.

More details

The risk to the child's mental health from losing a vulnerable family member is far greater than the risk from not attending school in person for a few more months. It is increasingly obvious that the virus is making its way to every class in every school and is inevitably going to make its way home to at risk family members. No child needs to grow up with the death of that person on their conscience.
