Petition richtet sich an: Bundestag

Germany sees itself as a child-friendly country where families should be the focus. However, in practice, parents often face considerable pressure when their children become ill. Currently, parents are required to submit a medical certificate to their employer from the first day of their child's illness. This leads to unnecessary stress, additional doctor visits, and a significant burden for families and medical practices.

We therefore demand that parents only be required to submit a medical certificate from the third day of their child's illness.

An initiative by former Federal Health Minister Lauterbach unfortunately did not result in legislation! Support our petition and set an example for more family-friendliness in Germany! Sign now so that together we can improve the framework for families!
