Closed Open Covid-19 test sites nationwide specifically for children/parents/teachers

Closed on

We want the Government to open Covid-19 testing sites nationwide that are specifically designed for Children, Parents (incl guardians, foster parents) & Teachers.

Parents also want reassurance that isolating children during a pandemic will not result in consequences for poor attendance.

Parents across the UK are struggling to get tests for our children & ourselves.

Schools won't allow a child back without negative results or after period of isolation.

Many test sites are Over-18s only.

We are told be tested within 5 days and to isolate our households & stay home until test results come back - we can't even get tested in the first place!

Parents worry about consequences of affected school attendance.
