Make holidays accessible for all families. Cease fines and charges for parents which are impacting school parent relationships. Promote respite and rest from work and education for wellbeing. Stop holiday companies making millions on school holiday prices whilst parents suffer. Give children access to the learning holidays can teach such as geography, equality and diversity and new cultures. Allow families to connect on a holiday away from the everyday rut.
