Closed Make learning about child abuse part of the national curriculum

Closed on

There is a need for students, specifically 11-16-year-olds, to be more educated on the topic of child abuse, and for this problem to be tackled we want the government to make this type of education mandatory in secondary by making it part of the national curriculum.

If students do not have enough knowledge on child abuse, if they go through any sort of abuse themselves they won't be aware. Therefore to keep students safe and protect their mental health, educating them would be necessary.
