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 Β£60 to Β£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.
