What the petition asks
Review the Law and Policies with regards to bullying in schools throughout the UK, as this is in the first place, a matter of safeguarding, hence in the public interest. This has caused too much distress and injustice for many children and needs to stop.
This petition is made due to unfortunate circumstances where bullying is not been dealt with and is causing too much damage on our mental health and our welfare.
Is the case not just of my son, where he has been seriously bullied at school, but on a National scale. This hasn’t been stopped no matter how hard I tried and in how many ways I tried attention to be drawn.
