What the petition asks
Make it so schools can’t have metal benches on the playground. Because my son ended up being taken to hospital having to have his head glued due to hitting his head of the corner of a metal bench
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
This a matter for schools, not the UK Government or Parliament. You may wish to raise this directly with school leadership and governors.
