The National Education Union (NEU) are calling on boards of governors in Northern Ireland to review and amend their school uniform policies in light of rising inflation and household bills that are stressing local family finances.
NEU argues that families are struggling with household bills as a result of increasing food, fuel, energy bills and rising inflation, all of which are putting pressure on household budgets prior to the new academic year as parents and carers are facing the purchase of new uniforms, P.E kits, trainers, and school shoes.
