Rejected petition Stop forcing children to eat outside during cold weather

Children of many different ages around the uk are being forced to spend breaks and lunch outside during cold weather. I understand this is best to prevent the spread of corona virus but there has to be a better solution.

More details

I want the government to let children eat in there classrooms.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

The Government has published guidance for schools on how to reduce the risks of Covid-19 transmission, and this includes advice about how to keep occupied spaces well ventilated, but it is up to individual schools how to implement this guidance: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/actions-for-schools-during-the-coronavirus-outbreak/guidance-for-full-opening-schools

If you are concerned about a school's policy on breaks you should raise this with the school or, if you are a student, your parents or other guardian.

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