Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

There are several schools in UK that have strict no nuts in school policy, however other schools are refusing to be supportive.
Parents are being advised to train their children as small as 5 to be away from nuts instead raising awareness in other parents by not allowing nuts in schools.
It is every parent’s nighmare whose child is suffering from life threatening condition, yet some schools are not supportive.
Certain parents have been asked to supervise their child in school, dinner time or in playground.
In the light of so many recent incidents parents are seeking support from goverment to take this action and make a healthy learning environment for kids in school where they are not singled out or anxious. Parents feel sitting on ticking time bomb whilst kids are in school.
