Rejected petition Accommodate special dietary requirements in all UK schools and colleges
Schools should be able to provide healthy and nutritious meals for people with special dietary requirements in order to accommodate to a wider means of society.
More details
I am a 16 year old student with special dietary requirements, and throughout my education, I have felt disadvantaged to my peers due to not being able to access a nutritious meal at break and lunchtime.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
The UK Government is only responsible for education in England, as this is a devolved matter in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
We could accept a petition calling on the Government to amend the healthy eating standards for England, but you would need to be clear what changes you want to be made to these standards.
You can read the current healthy eating standards here: https://www.gov.uk/school-meals-healthy-eating-standards
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
