Rejected petition Increase salaries for EYFS practitioners in independent and public nurseries

Increase the salaries with at least 2,75% for EYFS practitioners including those working in independent nurseries. The government should urgently consider increasing the wages for the people working in that sector as their role has been crucial during the COVID-19 pandemic

More details

EYFS providers remained open and provided F2F services to everyone including the most vulnerable children and families during the most severe times of the coronavirus outbreak. Even that government labelled EYFS as “low risk” it does not mean “No risk” environment. Staff have worked tirelessly to protect and help their communities, however no praise and acknowledgment had been given to those people who’s role was crucial and had significant impact on the smooth function life amid pandemic.
