More than five parents report them Children School has faced negative results, including detention and includes ExclusionBecause they can’t tolerate the necessary UniformA new survey has been found.
3,000 parents voting in Britain, commissioned by the Children’s Society and the census in June. Important financial burden highlighted School uniform Place on families, leading to punitive measures for students.
In particular, 44 percent of the parents stated that their children had to face negative consequences for lack of essential commodities due to issues of wrong uniforms or ability.
Among the affected people, one in eight (12 percent) children were detained for uniform violations, while nine percent were kept in separation, and eight percent were excluded from school.
Conclusions underline a broad struggle, about two (38 percent) parents admitted that they are difficult to pay for their child school uniform,
Financial stress seems to be deteriorating or stable for many people, as 42 percent of the parents stated that the same cost compared to the previous one was not more cheaper of this academic year (2024/25).
The findings of the survey come in the form of the good of children and Schools The bill, currently under consideration at the House of Lords, includes a proposal to captivate the number of branded uniform item schools in England.
The purpose of this law is to reduce financial pressure on homes and ensure that no child is punished for inability to meet expensive equal demands.
The poll found that 15 percent of the parents said that their child was not able to participate in the text and 12 percent was not able to participate in extra curricular activities due to incorrect uniform.
Mark Russell, Chief Executive Officer of The Children’s Society, said: “It is deeply unjust to punish children for the circumstances outside their control.
“Every child should be able to attend school without fear of custody, isolation, or boycott as their families cannot tolerate their families due to uniform cost.”
The survey found that about four out of five (78 percent) parents believe that there should be a specific limit on the number of branded uniform items, which may require schools.
Donation The families are calling for the good of the children’s good and the proposals installed in the school bills, which offer a limit of three branded items of school uniform to help families.
Mr. Russell said: “At a time when many families are already struggling to do the basics, we cannot make the cost of school uniforms even more difficult for children.”
Pepe di’iasio, secretary to general secretary Association of School and College LeadersSaid: “The reflected experiences in this survey are worrisome, and show how difficult the financial situation is for some families, which face impossible decision making.
“Most schools – in our experience – are conscious of cost pressure on families and work hard to support many children in our country who live in difficult financial conditions.
“We support the government’s intentions to limit the cost of uniform – although we feel that it would be better with a monetary cap that is allowed instead of specifying the number of branded items.”
Next to the committee’s stage debate on the bill at the House of Lords on Thursday, school retailers warned that three branded school uniforms can increase the cost for the proposed cap families.
Matthew Easter, president of the Schoolwear Association, said: “We have tried to engage in a constructive way to warn the risks of this policy in a creative way with ministers repeatedly – to harm very families, it is to help, and putting at risk of small community businesses and local jobs.
“A blunt, one-shaped-all cap will only reduce drive-up costs and access to the necessary support.”
Education Secretary Bridget Philipson said: “The school uniform can create a sense of community and be related to children but should not cost the Earth.
“Through the good of our children and the bills of schools, we are capping the number of expensive branded uniforms items – putting back the money in the pockets of the families working as part of our plan for change.
“As long as it can bother people who take advantage of branded items, it is clear from the research of the Children’s Society that we have the support of the parents. This means that schools can benefit from a harmonious uniform, while parents can buy according to their budget.”
