Information for working families

With a huge revolt growing to shut down schools, important information for parents:

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REQUEST FURLOUGH IF YOUR SCHOOL CLOSES.

In November the Government finally agreed to give parents the right to request furlough for childcare responsibilities due to Covid-19, like school or nursery closures, or children in self-isolation. The problem is that most parents do not know this and neither do many employers. So there is a need to publicise this as much as possible to prevent many parents - especially mums - from giving up or losing their jobs due to school closures, and at the same time encouraging them to keep their kids safe at home. Please share!
