This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Stop face masks in secondary schools.
Stop schools from forcing children under 18 from wearing masks for long periods of the school day.
More details
My 11 year old in year 7 has to sit for 6 hours wearing a face mask without breaks. I could not do this as an adult. She has to sit in the classroom and all communal areas, which is effectively the entire school. Her face becomes sore and mask smelly and her glasses steam up on a regular basis. Masks with wires suitable for those wearing glasses have doubled in price. You must give children the choice and not allow schools to force this upon our young children.
