What the petition asks
To introduce to the curriculum lessons on bullying and the severe affect it has on mental health.
Helping children understand the affects of bullying through lessons may lessen the amount of children being bullied in school, as more kids will be taught about educated about bullying.
Why it was rejected
The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.
The new relationships and sex education (RSE) and health education curriculum, which is mandatory from this academic year, already includes content on different types of bullying, the impact of bullying, responsibilities of bystanders and how to get help: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/908013/Relationships_Education__Relationships_and_Sex_Education__RSE__and_Health_Education.pdf
