Petition Stop fines for taking children out of school on holiday

Stop fines for taking our children out of school on holiday. Where does the money actually go when we are fined for taking our children away and showing them different cultures? Scrap the fines!

More details

We want the government to stop the fines for taking our children out of school on holiday and showing them the world without it costing a small fortune that some parents can’t afford! We think holidays are educational. Why should we be fined they are our children.
