Rejected petition: Introduce mandatory (youth) knife crime awareness and safety lessons in schools
Rejected on
we would like the Government and/or Parliment to pass legislation to make lessons about (youth) knife crime mandatory in English secondary schools as a part of the PSHE curriculum.
It is an extremely important and pressing issue that effects thousands of youths across the country annually, therefore change must be implemented to protect the more vulnerable members of our society and ensure their safety.
