Allowing a child to take a mobile phone into school as safety precortion
Rejected
11 signatures
What the petition asks
My daughter takes her mobile phone to school for safety purposes, travelling to and from school, to inform me if she has to stay late for a detention. In this day and age it is a must with many attempted abductions from her school. The school are refusing to return the phone.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Mobile phone policy in schools is the responsibility of individual schools. You could raise this with the school's governing body.
