Are school fines fair?
5 Live listeners have their say with Nicky Campbell.
Fines for parents taking children out of school without permission will rise across England from September. The minimum fine will increase from 拢60 to 拢80 per parent as part of a government drive to return attendance to pre-pandemic levels. Local authorities currently have their own policies on when to issue fines, so the likelihood of parents being fined depends on their school's location. Nicky got your reaction.
