P-05-1118 Allow parents of under 1 year old to form a support bubble in new Tier 4 Covid restrictions

Text of Petition:                     

England have introduced rules to allow parents of under 1 year olds to form a support bubble with an additional household which is allowed in all tiers. I would like to petition for Wales to implement the same rules as many parents have been struggling during the restrictions to care for young children alone. The new restrictions coming in place on 28th December place Wales in tier 4 where a parent of a young child will have no support. Please follow England to support parents of young children.

This petition was considered completed by the Petitions Committee at its meeting on 02/03/2021.

The Committee considered the petition for the first time and in light of the recent announcement by the Welsh Government to ease restrictions in Wales to allow families with babies to form a bubble with one other household, it agreed to close the petition and thank the petitioner.
