Rejected petition Stop our children being burning at school!

More details

Children are at risk of sunburn during school hours. We’d like to stop it. Clarification is required regarding the protection of children from UV rays during school hours. Currently schools in England do not follow a standard policy and therefore there is no uniformity or clear directive across schools.

This petition calls for a debate in the House of Commons to seek clarification on the responsibilities of the school that would establish a policy on the administration of any skin protection procedure for children during school hours.
