Why has the Department for Education brought in a National Framework for penalty notices?

Question:
Why has the Department for Education brought in a National Framework for penalty notices?
Answer:

There was concern that penalty notices (sometimes called fines) were being issued inconsistently across the county with some Council’s issuing multiple penalty notices to a family within a year and some issuing none at all. This created a postcode lottery for families, so the framework has been introduced to ensure more fairness and consistency. There has also been a rise in term-time holidays which are disruptive to a child’s education.
