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 understand that you are concerned about grandparents being prevented from having access to their grandchildren, but we're not sure exactly what rights you want grandparents to be given, and if you only want these to apply where a child is in the care of one set of grandparents.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

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