Police must do more to crack down on 'dangerous' anti-vaxx protests outside schools, says Priti Pate

Priti Patel has called for a crackdown on anti-vaxx protests outside schools across England, after it emerged that pupils have been sent home early on the advice of the police.

The Home Secretary warned that the police “must do more” in response to warnings from education leaders over the scale of abuse and intimidation faced by pupils and teaching staff.

However, Sir Keir Starmer, the Labour leader, has urged the Government to go further by giving local authorities the ability to “rapidly” establish “exclusion zones” outside schools.

It comes as The Telegraph can reveal that at least one school in London was told to close early by the police and their local authority, due to risk posed to pupils and staff by a large-scale protest by anti-vaxxers.
