What the petition asks

We urge the Government to improve the representation of LGBT+ students and the services available to them within our current schooling system-We urge the government to create or set aside funding for each school and college to improve LGBT+ representation And support for students and staff

Currently reported 45% of LGBT are bullied in education,18% LGBT will experience homelessness in their lives!These statistics need to change.Improving the representation of LGBT in education will educate against prejudice as well as getting LGBT students vital support-LGBT is severely under represented in education and the Government owe it to young people to represent us within our school and college environments.

Why it was rejected

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

We understand you would like increased funding for schools to improve LGBT+ representation, but it's not clear if you want this funding to be used to help improve the number of LGBT+ teachers or school leaders, or for some other purpose.

If you want the Government to provide increased funding to schools to allow them to take a specific action or actions relating to support for LGBT+ students, you could start a petition about that.
