What the petition asks

We are doing a campaign about gangs and knife crime, we are looking to spread awareness about the consequence of knife crime and gangs.
The campaign will be organised by GCSE Citizenship students at Newham Sixth Form College and with the help of other students, teachers, staff members and political leaders from borough of Newham, our mission is to educate young people about the consequences of knife crime and gangs.

Why it was rejected

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

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand you'd like to spread awareness about gangs and knives, but we aren't sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
