  • Freeze on council tax increase and other price hikes during the pandemic
    Covid has had a huge negative impact on the world which goes without saying, I understand that businesses are affected.. But so is the general public, it is an absolute outrage that there will be a freeze on the living wage while everything continues to rise, A lot of people can't even go to work, yet we are all having to pull together to keep the country 'ticking over' where does the government get off when hiking up prices and not giving an ounce of a payrise on the living wage? It's completely bonkers and unbalanced.

    The Government has left it down to the individual schools to cancel the BTEC exams.University Academy Holbeach secondary school is still going ahead with these exams. Its totally unfair on the year 11 pupils as our Government has put the country into full lockdown today and cancelled all A Level and GCSE exams for this year due to the rapid growth of the corona virus.Its not safe for the staff or pupils to continue these exams in the current circumstances.It is putting our community at risk and our Y11 pupils under immense pressure. These exams need cancelling ASAP for the safety and fairness for all.

  • Government To Reimburse Student Rents and Part of Tuition Fees
    Students are having to pay for accommodation and often utility bills that they are being instructed they cannot use. They are being offered a sub-standard education experience and different I what was advertised and promised to them. Government is supporting the employed, employers, businesses and the self employed but not our students who represent our future. This is only fair and reasonable.

  • Make students accommodations cancel rent payments for students
    This is important because students are expected to still pay rent in the thousands for accommodation we are not even allowed to live in, until potentially mid February at the earliest. We are still expected to pay maintenance loans back in the future with interest. We are paying for something we can even use, with interest!!!

  • Financial help for parents forced to take unpaid leave due to self isolation and school closures
    This is something that is going to affect many families during this lockdown period, granted the schools are open for key worker children but for many this isn’t the case. Not everyone can work from home and as companies are not obliged to pay anyone who needs to take leave to care for their child I believe the government have neglected to consider the financial impact this will have on those that are forced to take unpaid leave to care for their children at home. Who can actually afford unpaid leave? There are no benefits available for people who are employed but earning nothing due to this situation. The same goes for those having to self isolate as their child has come into contact with someone who’s tested positive, there is no financial assistance for this anywhere. The £500 from the local authority does not cover children.
