This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Teach children about Domestic Abuse and how to change Abusive Behaviours.
Teach school aged children about Domestic Abuse and the warning signs.
Also about how to combat Abusive Behaviours and how to stop these.
The more people are aware of the warning signs and abuse cycles the more chance we can combat Domestic Abuse and hopefully stop it.
More details
I would like the government to implement teaching Children aged 7 plus about the effects, warning signs and abuse cycle.
This can help people leave Abuse sooner and also allows perpetrators to identify their abusive traits from an early stage and correcting this before they turn into an abuser.
It will also allow children to speak up and identify those in need earlier and able to protect children sooner.
