Council’s decision to fine parents for pupil lateness backed by government
Schools in Warwickshire, Hampshire and Essex are soon to be fining parents whose children are persistently late, Tes has reported.
The government is supporting the decision of the local authorities that have chosen to implement the penalty to parents.
Councils in the same areas also issue fines to parents for taking their children on holiday during term time.
Families would be fined £60 per parent, to double if not paid within 21 days.
Warwickshire county council has informed parents that it will fine families whose children repeatedly arrive more than 30 minutes after the register is taken.
The Department for Education said that it was up to individual schools to decide when to draw the cut-off line for lateness.
Parents have been told that they could face prosecution if they fail to pay the penalty within 28 days.
