Enforce stricter tougher bullying restrictions in schools and colleges.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Enforce schools and colleges to put strict anti-bullying policies in place. Slow schools to enforce those being accused of bullying to see apparent messages/pictures etc. Enforce schools to punish students who are bullying, make them take courses and learn about the ramifications it may have.
Bullying affects 1 in 4 of us directly, and all of us in some matter or form. This needs to stop and the government need to help us.

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. Schools are already required to have a behaviour policy to deal with bullying.
