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 only accept petitions which call for actions that are the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament. It's for your children's school, and other individual schools in London, to decide on its mobile phone policy. You could take the issue up with the school's senior leadership team.

You could start a new petition calling for an action that is the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament. For example, you could start a new petition calling for new guidance to schools against imposing bans on mobile phones or ensuring students have access to mobile phones in certain circumstances.

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