School Uniforms and changing social policy

CAB changing social policy - school uniforms

Following the success of Lancashire's CAB campaign to ask for school uniform grants, other CAB's have jumped on the band wagon. Until now, council's have not provided money towards pupil's uniforms, but have instead insisted on specific school branded uniform bought from a particular firm, this made uniforms very costly for all but especially those on low income, benefits or families with a number of children. Many Primary and Secondary schools now offer an alternative. Where as pupils will still wear a uniform which unites and protects them, supermarkets now offer unbranded items at a fraction of the cost.
