Rejected petition To stop child labour.

We want the government or parliment to pronounce that institutions must have a code of conduct and display it when asked. Furthermore, we would like random inspections to be carried out multiple times of the year of factories to ensure that these institutions are abiding by their code of conduct.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. There are already restrictions on child labour, abuses of which can be prosecuted. You can find out more here:

https://www.gov.uk/child-employment

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do, such as banning under 16s for working at all, if that's what you'd like to see happen.

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