Rejected petition Change where medical appointments affect the schools attendance percentage.
A great deal of parents understand education is important. However when important medical appointments arise and there are no appointments later in the day or over the weekend families and schools are penalised.
More details
Help support families who are already having a difficult time having to attend medical appointments or create a system where parents are given appointments out of school hours. If parents don't go to appointments this could be seen as neglect.
