This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Ban isolation rooms in schools.
Schools are using isolation rooms to punish children. They are not being used in the correct manner.
More details
Isolation rooms consist of a row of booths where each child cannot see the next person or are allowed out of there chair for 7hrs. They have no breaks or lunch time. Can only use the toilet 3 times but not whilst others are on breaks or lunch. No hot meal is provided they only get offered sandwiches. They do not have to complete school work so how can this be educational. Also the day is 1hr longer than usual.
