Make knife crime education mandatory in UK schools.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Make it mandatory for schools to be taught about knife crime. Whether this is the impact, the laws, statistics or even remembering the victims that died or were affected by knife crime. This could be done in school assemblies or subjects such as PSHE or Citizenship.

To help stop knife crime its proven that education is key, therefore making it mandatory to teach students in UK schools could educate young people on the major negative effect involving knife crime and would massively impact the rate of victims for the better.
