Rejected petition Introduce a scheme to help families afford school uniform

More details

Hardworking parents deserve help to be able to afford school uniform for their child.

The Government should make school uniform more affordable by introducing a salary sacrifice scheme where parents exchange a small part of their monthly salary for school uniform vouchers.

This will not only help parents to budget for back to school time, it will make uniform more affordable because salary given up will be tax exempt.

The scheme will be available to all employers and employees who wish to opt in, with vouchers redeemable at all participating retailers, in much the same way the childcare voucher scheme works.
