We would love our children to experience a game from our childhood.
Its an outside game and parents could sign a consent form allowing their child to play conkers.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

There's no law or government policy banning children from playing conkers, so we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

If an individual school decides to ban conkers on health & safety grounds, this would be a decision for the school, not the Government or Parliament.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
