Open petition: Allow childcare vouchers & tax-free childcare for school activities & expenses

Created by Shakila Bi
Closes on

Allow childcare vouchers and tax-free childcare to be used for all in-school activities, to ease burden of the 'extra-curricular' and 'essential' needs of schools, and for expenses - such as uniforms, lunches, and activities— to ease the growing financial strain on families.

Parents work hard to earn, so their children have every opportunity to learn, explore, and build confidence—in school and beyond. Expanding what they can be used for could not only give parents peace of mind but could also benefit the country by supporting working families, boosting participation in the workforce, and reducing the need for additional financial aid.
