Hi,

Thanks for visiting the site. We are trying to get the current legislation changed under the Education Act to allow ALL families up to 10 days term time absence.
We have a FB group - Protest to fight school fines, and FB page - School Fines Campaign.

Since the introduction of the new national framework that was introduced in August 2024, the risk of fines & prosecution is at the highest it has ever been. This is due to the tightening up of the rules. All schools now will have to refer to the local authority for 10 or more unauthorised absences. These could be made up by being late, taking time to visit sick relatives, much needed family time etc.

A lot of parents still don't understand these rules, and we need to get the message out there before it's too late.

We have smashed our petition target of 100k signatures, but please feel free to add your name to it - this is the link https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/700047

We have also launched our first ever survey to gather data. This is the link - https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/fightschoolfines/

Thanks for reading, and thank you for the donations - every £1 is helping to raise awareness and fund resources to help to fight this draconian legislation!
