This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

We can't publish petitions when the request is something that's already happening or something that has been announced since you started your petition.

We think your petition is covered by Government or Parliament action already. If you'd like something else, you could start a new petition clearly explaining what it is.

Since you started your petition the Government has announced new support to keep British Jewish communities safe, including £3 million of extra funding will be provided to the Community Security Trust (CST) to protect schools, synagogues and other Jewish community buildings. The Government has said the money will enable the CST to place additional guards in schools it supports throughout each school’s operating hours.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
