Under a Restore Britain Government, parents would have the right to take their children out of school for a limited number of days per year without getting fined. Assuming the child is developing well, and attendance is otherwise good, families will be entitled to spend that time with their children as they see fit. I strongly believe that parents should be the decision-maker in a child's life. If they believe that a family holiday will provide benefits to their son or daughter, that is their decision. That power belongs to the family, not the state. For many, the costs during holidays are simply extortionate - it is the difference between going or not. Often parents just pay the fine regardless as it's cheaper than the hiked price difference. It's insanity. Where is that money going? I sincerely doubt it is being spent well. Time away with the family can bring enormous value that school simply cannot. A small policy change that would make a big difference to British families. Of course this needs to be done reasonably and sensibly, but Restore Britain is unashamedly pro-family. That will resonate across our political party's entire policy platform.
