Petition

Protection/security at our children’s schools.

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

In recent months, our children’s education’s facilities have been targeted by terrorists.

Synagogues and churches have had funding for higher level security/law enforcement.
We want the same for our schools and for our children.
We are aware that places of worship have had large amounts of funding for military protection against terror.
The children are the most important. And have been targeted more often than anyone else.
Parents want to feel safe sending their children to school.
This isn’t the case in today’s climate.
We want some reassurance that our children will remain protected whilst in a class room.
