What the petition asks
I have been recently been diagnosed with skin cancer, being only 28 this has come as a bit of a shock. being a red head, fair skinned , and freckly I always kept an eye on skin changes but you still think it wont happen to you. This then flagged up and made me take notice the price of sun cream.
Every child should have access to sun cream, especially march-October, teachers, anybody in a position of care to a child should be allowed to apply sun cream where they see fit.
Sun damage ages the skin but also raises the risk of skin cancer, one of the most preventable cancer. I believe all school children should receive a 'sunstart' pack containing a sun hat, sun cream, and information sheet, a bottle of water , and an activity pack. FREE SUN CREAM FOR ALL SCHOOL CHILDREN.
