In August, fines are set to rise to £160 for parents who take their children out of school
As holiday penalties are set to rise across the country, one area of Lancashire is issuing the highest number of penalties for unauthorised absences.
However, the fines are looking to rise this year as from August, parents who take their children out of school and on holiday during term time, they could be slapped with a hefty £160 fine. Currently, unauthorised absences will cost families £60 which increases to £120 per child if it is not paid within 21 days, with a potential prosecution for non-payment of 28 days.In Blackpool, the fines skyrocketed by 56% in just 12 months, with £190,680 worth of fines.
It is yet to be known what the August rules will do to the statistics, as new guidelines will see fines of £160 for parents taking their children on holiday during term-time. A new national framework will also see schools considering fines when a child misses ten of more sessions, equating to five days, without permission.
