PARENTS or carers who allow their children to play truant from school face fines of up to £100 from next month.
The Wiltshire County Council policy will see fines imposed if discussions and a written warning fail to have any effect. A notice can be issued if children clock up five days of unauthorised absence from school in a six-month period.
