Calls for a change in law

Today I have been writing to some of the committees in the scottish parliament to ask for there support in progressing with a change of law which allows us to give our children adequate space in the classroom to learn.

Health and Safety currently have no legislation that we can find that dictates how much space is needed per child and we are trying to have this changed currently councils go on outdated capacity levels when they are looking at schools for closures and if adequate space was provided per child forcing these capacity levels to be re addressed the council would find it more difficult to close schools with higher roles.

The petition is available for signature at http://www.thepetitionsite.com/8/stop-school-closures.

thank you
