Closed Give parents a right to start work late once a week to take children to school

Closed on

We want the Government to make it mandatory for all work places to allow parents one later start time per week (after 9:30am), to be able to take their children to school.

We believe this is paramount to promote positive parent partnerships with the school, will help promote children’s wellbeing and mental health, and reduce stress for parents around childcare and childcare costs.
