Closed on

Families with several small children, under school-age will find they break the rule of 6 when relying on grandparents to take on childcare duties

I want the Government to exempt pre-school children from the rule of 6. This will allow parents of several small children and toddlers to continue working and using grandparents as a childcare resource.
