Introduce mandatory anti-bullying programmes in schools

Closed 167 signatures

What the petition asks

I urge the Government to introduce mandatory anti-bullying education programmes in schools. These programmes should promote awareness, provide support, and create safe environments for students, helping them understand the importance of kindness and tackling bullying.
Bullying is a widespread issue and can affect students' well-being and academic success. By introducing mandatory anti-bullying education programmes, we can create a supportive environment where young people feel safe, understood, and empowered to seek help. Early intervention and awareness may reduce stigma, promote emotional resilience, and prevent long-term consequences, ultimately fostering a healthier, more inclusive society for future generations.
