What the petition asks
Over the past 9 years of supporting sick and disabled children and running Matts Mission Children's Charity over 6 years, we sadly come into contact with many families with sick children that have lost hair or are disabled and are bullied in school.
A subject needs to be put in place to support.
A subject needs to be put in place to support.
Children all over the world are being diagnosed with a serious illness every day, they go through so much, treatment for an illness such as cancer makes the child's hair fall out. Sadly many children in schools including higher education schools are being called names, spat on, laughed at, wigs pulled off there head. It is getting out of control, it is time these children understood the damage they are causing to the confidence of these sick children. Schools need to help to stop this happening.
