    There are far more than 100,000 parents who didn’t sign it.

      In 2023, there were 19.5 million families in the UK, an increase of just over 1.1 million families (6%) since 2013.

      Even if we assume that each signatory represents a unique family (i.e. no couples contributed two signatures) then 100k represents only half of a percent.

      Millions never even heard there was something to sign.
