Three-quarters of parents have allowed their child to stay at home and take a “duvet day” if they don’t want to attend school, according to a new survey.
Seventy-five per cent of 2,000 parents surveyed said they have allowed their child not to go to school if they feel tired, emotional or not able to attend. Forty per cent of those surveyed said they had allowed “duvet days” to happen more than once.
