24,000 signatures and an URGENT opportunity for parents - Children's Minister Q+A.

Your support has been absolutely overwhelming, thank you so much! 

This evening was a step in the right direction with Gavin Williamson's response. At least the Department of Education has taken notice, but in my opinion, the Minister's response was unsatisfactory and merely repetitive, so we will not stop here. Once again, the Government needs to do much more than simply say that teachers should 'be sensitive'.

To any parents - there is a Mumsnet Q+A with MP Vicky Ford (Children's Minister) where you could raise this important issue with her. This is urgent, as the chance to submit questions closes at midday Thursday 4th March. More details can be found by clicking here.  

In the meantime, please keep sharing the message any way you can. Thank you again for all your support :)
