Clitheroe-basedschoolwear supplier Trutex is support ing a campaign to make qual ity school uniform easier to afford. It is backing The School-
wear Association’s national campaign to make school uniform more affordable for hardworking families. The association, whose mem bers clothe three-quarters of Britain’s schoolchildren, wants the Government to in troduce a scheme similar to childcare vouchers to make uniform tax deductible. Trutex is urging par
ents to sign an e petition to bring the idea to the at tention of the Prime Min ister. It can be found at
http://epetitions.direct.
gov.uk/petitions/657go Matthew Easter, manag
ing director of Trutex and chairman of theassociation, said: “Studiesshowthatchil- dren do better at school and are happier when they have good quality school uniform. We know for many families, purchasing school uniform can sometimes be a woriy. “We think the Govern
ment should help by provid- ingforatax-exemptvoucher scheme along the lines of childcare vouchers. It’s good for education, good for chil dren and good for hardwork ing families.” ■ If approved, the scheme
would allow workers at par ticipating employers to re ceive a small part of their salary each month as vouch ers, redeemable at partici pating schoolwear suppliers in Lancashire and beyond. A precedent for the idea
is the Cycle to Work scheme, in which employees are pro vided with a new bike, paid for with a small amount of tax-free money via their sal ary.
Children spend more
time in school uniform than in their own clothes. A poll for the Schoolwear Asso ciation showed the average child wears his or her uni form for 10 hours a day (1,500 hours a year), and it has to stand up to the rigours of everyday school life. Children get through on
average four pieces of uni form a year.
