Rewrite the exclusion policies of what qualifies as an exclusion in UK schools

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like Parliament to discuss and hopefully rewrite exclusion policies of what qualifies as an exclusion in UK schools in the department of education by this petition.

School exclusions are a direct violation of the right of education by the universal declaration of human rights. Excluding a child/teen from school removes them from education. What this petition aims to do is to help children and or teens who struggle in education and to help them build a sustainable and better future of the next generation.

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're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

The Department for Education has published guidance on exclusions and suspensions for suspensions: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/school-exclusion

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do for example reviewing the Department for Education’s guidance.
