Teach children about Domestic Abuse and how to change Abusive Behaviours.

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

Teach school aged children about Domestic Abuse and the warning signs.
Also about how to combat Abusive Behaviours and how to stop these.
The more people are aware of the warning signs and abuse cycles the more chance we can combat Domestic Abuse and hopefully stop it.

I would like the government to implement teaching Children aged 7 plus about the effects, warning signs and abuse cycle.
This can help people leave Abuse sooner and also allows perpetrators to identify their abusive traits from an early stage and correcting this before they turn into an abuser.
It will also allow children to speak up and identify those in need earlier and able to protect children sooner.

Why it was rejected

The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.

The Government's new Relationships and Sex Education curriculum, requires that students are now taught about the concepts of, and laws relating to, sexual consent, sexual exploitation, abuse, grooming, coercion, harassment, rape, domestic abuse, forced marriage, honour-based violence and FGM, and how these can affect current and future relationships.
