Closed petition Introduce a ‘mental health day’ as a valid reason to be absent from school

Allow students to take a ‘mental health day’ every now and again, without needing a mental health diagnosis.

More details

I want the Government to do this to allow students who may feel overwhelmed and overloaded to relax. The Government should do this due to the coronavirus pandemic having a big effect on young peoples mental health and social well-being.
