No more rip off school uniforms
Legislate to prevent schools requiring branded school uniform items, and using single suppliers for their uniforms. The Department should also introduce a price cap on school uniform requirements.
Why is this important?
Many parents and families in Northern Ireland are coming under unbearable financial pressure due to the arbitrary and expensive school uniform requirements. In addition to a school uniform, many schools also insist on bespoke, branded sportswear for PE lessons, particular emblems, or have contracts for branded items with specific uniform suppliers. This can't go on - the Department can act to alleviate this financial pressure, and must do so now.
