What the petition asks

We want as a community a nation a country to see social services doing there jobs properly!!
Offer them a new training program to be able to give them the power to remove children from abuse in their own homes, we want to ensure that vulnerable children are safe & cared for in a proper manner!!
Children are dieing in the hands of their own parents!! because the system is failing them, failing to recognise when they need help & support failing because they haven't done their job properly!! (Re training)
Because they don't have the funding or power to remove children from disgusting situations, its time this stopped. We will not stand by and watch anymore children die something need to be done this needs to change !!

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 that you are concerned about existing protections for vulnerable children, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

Local councils can already seek a court order to take a child into care. You can find out more about this here: https://www.gov.uk/if-your-child-is-taken-into-care

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