Current school bullying policies are unfit for purpose and need to be overhauled and legally policies enforced in all schools for the safety wellbeing of all children as schools and police etc pass the buck from pila to post and kids parents are stuck in middle it's not fair or right and as a parent my self and experienced

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

By law, all state (not private) schools must have a behaviour policy in place that includes measures to prevent all forms of bullying among pupils.

This policy is decided by the school. All teachers, pupils and parents must be told what it is.
