Rejected petition Introduce Self defence at schools from the age of 10

To introduce basic self defence in to school for children and young adults (10-18) during the Physical Education and/or life lessons

More details

As a young woman like many I believe it’s important to know how to protect yourself from potential threats when alone Day or Night studies have shown that there’s an average of 112,853 reports of missing children in the UK last year alone there was 68,944 missing children, also on a average 500 child sex offenders have been reported each month. I believe this petition will help keep the futures of next generation safe, once basics of self defence has been introduced in school for the safety of children !
