Make all UK schools enforce their school bullying policies legally

Closed 34 signatures

What the petition asks

Schools legally have to have bullying policies but they do not legally have to enforce their policies as they currently only have discretionary meaning. They legally don't have any powers to enforce their policies and this has to be changed for safety well-being of all children's no 1 priority.
Government statistics released say 1.5 million pupils are bullied verbally or physically or both in the last 12 months which was on national news TV etc. Therefore it's children's and pupils' lives that are being ruined and destroyed and society in general and schools are failing to act cause of current policies and legislations and have no powers.
