We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee

Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Introduce character education to the curriculum under PSHE

We would like the government to commission the DfE to introduce character education under PSHE which introduces children from a young age to the universal virtues of respect, fairness, forgiveness, forbearance, kindness and truthfulness as a specific methodology to help them internalise such virtues

More details

We believe while the current curriculum contains content for cultivating resilience in character, and that, the inclusion of RE will make a profound difference towards respecting the LGBT communities and inclusion in line with Equality Act 2010, it is not broad enough to tackle the issues of racism, Islamophobia and various other discriminations, as well as the challenging gun/knife crime violence. We believe a method of wholesome character education is the necessity and right of every child.
