Rejected petition not fine parents for not sending children to school if shielding or feel unsafe

Please close schools or not fine parents for not sending their children to school if a member of the family is shielding or they feel it’s unsafe to send there children to school.

More details

As a disabled mum of two who is shielding I’ve made the hard choice to not send my daughter to school due to me shielding but fear I may receive a fine. I feel this is very unfair as I’m trying to protect myself and my family.

Please either close schools or not fine parents for not sending their children to school if a member of the family is shielding or they feel it’s unsafe to send there children to school.
