Currently schools are unable to authorise time off unless a child has an exceptional circumstance. You can only allow your child to miss school if either:

- they’re too ill to go in

- you’ve got advance permission from the school

If you do not have these you are at risk of a £60 per child

I believe children deserve the right to have a set amount of AUTHORISED Heath and well-being days.

I think we can all agree that the children of the UNITED KINGDOM have been incredible throughout the pandemic. This should not go unnoticed, their ability to adapt to change in a way England has never had to before, shows a remarkable side of our future generation.

Now more than ever they need the support of their peers, health and well being days could be the key to allowing them to achieve more, succeed and strive to create a better world.

Mental health is important and our great young minds need looking after.
