Important:

This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament

Rejected petition Stop schools taking away our rights by putting us in isolation.

Schools use isolation to take away our rights such as us interacting with other students and giving us limited toilet breaks, isolation does us no favours and we just want to get rid of it as it's a complete breach of our human rights.

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 the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise.

The use of isolation rooms and the conditions applied to them are a matter for the individual school. You could raise this issue with your school's governing body.

You can find advice for Headteachers on the use of isolation rooms here:

You could start a new petition calling for the UK Government to change the advice given to Headteachers if that is something you would like to see happen.

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