A Banned on Tennis Racket in Infant School Playground

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

My four year old was hit under the eye with a Racket resulting in swelling and bruising. This horrific blow to the face could have been fatal. I strongly believe that the Tennis Racket is an Health and Safety Hazard in playground where children as young as four years old are playing.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can only accept petitions that call on the UK Government or Parliament to take action. Decisions about the items that are permitted in playgrounds are generally for individual schools to make. You could take this up with the governing body of the school.
