What the petition asks
To stop the weekly testing of covid-19 on our children
Any child will find it difficult to allow people to test them, children on the spectrum or with any additional needs are going to struggle, I feel this will give any child nightmares and is an invasion of their space
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're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do, as there are no weekly tests of children. You can find the Government's guidance here:

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