P-05-1108 Issue guidance and voucher scheme to save baby & toddler activity sector in Wales

This petition was submitted by Rebecca Edmonds having collected a total of 91 signatures.

Text of Petition:

Following the petition for this sector in England, we in Wales would like the same clarity and guidelines for us!

Baby and toddler groups are crucial for the wellbeing of new parents who are desperate for them to return after lockdown. Providers are struggling to reopen due to conflicting guidance. We call on government to issue targeted guidance and a voucher scheme for this overlooked sector.

Bespoke guidance will enable businesses to return and save new parents from extended isolation.

Additional Information:

Smaller covid safe classes will be unaffordable for many parents, while Children's Centres remain closed. A voucher scheme would aid this sector's recovery and support postnatal mental health.
