Rejected petition Prevent sanctions for participation in the climate strikes

Students across the world are mobilising and demanding action to combat climate change, we cannot let schools restrict the right of civil disobedience and prevent students from participating.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

We can't accept your petition because it's the responsibility of schools to authorise absence, not the UK Government or Parliament.

You could start a new petition calling on the UK Government or Parliament to take specific action about climate change following those protests if that is something you would like to see happen.

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