Open for signatures 11 signatures

What the petition asks

All secondary schools to teach about OCD within the PSHE curriculum. It should include avoiding stereotypes and discussing different variants and types of OCD.
OCD is highly misunderstood with the average person making assumptions of it just being neat and tidy. Some even believe false rumours such as people enjoying the Compulsions of OCD, etc.
