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 the subject of grief to the national curriculum
I want you to make it essential that all schools, primary and secondary touch on the subject of grief. Whether it be made into a whole subject category or a topic every one learns about. It’s important to incorporate it into mental health. And to learn about death and grief.
More details
It is really important for children of all ages to start knowing the truth about grief. And why it happens, and why people feel grief and how.
Losing someone happens to everyone in this world yet no one really knows how to deal with that emotion. People around them don’t know either so can’t offer help. Grief isn’t talked about enough and it’s a taboo subject when death happens. It shouldn’t be an awkward subject yet it is because not a lot of people know how to handle it.
