Will you help share the latest news? If the Government won’t, we will.

I’m still campaigning for a Government minister to make it absolutely clear whether parents have the right to opt-out if schools reopen in June. The guidance released after we started this petition is progress, but it is not enough - especially when most parents don’t know it exists.

At the very least, it shows that parents won’t face fines. Please help me by sharing this Facebook post far and wide to let parents know this. It’s so important that the Government tells parents what choices they have. Here are some ideas of where you can post :

  • On your Facebook page
  • In Facebook groups
  • On your schools Facebook page
  • In Whatsapp Groups - particularly those with parents
  • On Twitter

Thank you all for sending a question to the press conference and to your MPs. Leave a comment below if you’ve heard back and if your MP is supportive.
