Align Working Hours, School Schedules, & Family Costs to Support UK Parents — 11 signatures. Status: rejected.
UK families face a mismatch between work hours & school times, forcing costly childcare. Parents, especially mothers & default parents are penalised while education costs like uniforms with logo and meals rise. We call for flexible working, aligned school hours, & limits on school-related costs.
Families, particularly mothers are struggling with a mismatch between standard working hours & school schedules, creating financial strain. Extended childcare options like breakfast & after-school clubs are costly & almost unaffordable. Meanwhile, school essentials, such as uniforms & meals, are increasingly expensive. The Government must act to align school hours with working hours, regulate education-related costs & ensure affordable support for working families, reducing the financial burden.
