 Gov Responded - 20 Oct 2020 Debated on - 7 Dec 2020 View Wes Streeting's petition debate contributions 		19 Feb 2021
closed 1 week ago

The Government should cancel GCSEs and A Levels in 2021 due to the disruption of Covid-19. By the time students go back to normal learning, 6 months will have passed since schools were closed to most pupils. This has already had a huge impact on the studying of so many.

Keep schools closed until Covid 19 is no longer a threat

 Gov Responded - 25 Nov 2020 Debated on - 7 Dec 2020 View Wes Streeting's petition debate contributions 		5 Dec 2020
closed 2 months, 3 weeks ago

The threat of covid19 is real. Children can’t be expected to maintain sufficient social distancing to keep this virus from spreading. They are social creatures. Allowing them back to school could cause a new spike in cases. They could bring it back home, even if they are a-symptomatic.

Fund research for childhood cancers with the worst survival rates

 Gov Responded - 24 Mar 2020 Debated on - 7 Dec 2020 View Wes Streeting's petition debate contributions 		5 Sep 2020
closed 5 months, 3 weeks ago

12 kids in the UK are diagnosed with cancer daily. 1 in 5 will die within 5 years, often of the deadliest types like DIPG (brainstem cancer) - fatal on diagnosis & other cancers on relapse. Yet there has been little, or no, funding for research into these cancers and little, or no, progress.

Legislate to allow parents to have the option to remove their children from school if there is a pandemic e.g. Coronavirus or similar without negative action by schools or local authorities. They shouldn’t lose the child’s place in the school or face any kind of prosecution.
