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 Add Self Defence to the National Curriculum from Year 7 upwards
There are more and more reports in the media about violence in society.
I believe putting both the theory and practical aspects of a self defence programme into the schools curriculum will help our young people to become more aware of dangers and help them better defend themselves.
More details
I also believe that any self defence programme instils self discipline and respect for others. Theoretically this could reduce the number of assaults that occur to everyone in the future.
