What the petition asks
We want our Cadet Force to be taught the importance of self examination and signs of cancer at least fifteen minutes a month
Knowing the signs of cancer, doing it and then reporting it could save a young persons life. That's why I feel that monthly lessons would instil
the benefits of self examination and make the aware of their body

Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
The cadet forces are voluntary youth organisations, so decisions about what they teach cadets are a matter for each cadet force, not the UK Government or Parliament.
