Rejected petition Safer Schools, primary and high schools

Increased funding for school security systems (CCTV, secure entrances, panic alarms).

Mandatory terrorism response drills and staff training in every school.

Stronger coordination between schools and local police forces.

A review of current policies on emergency preparedness in schools.

More details

The safety of children and educational staff must remain a top priority, and I believe more can be done to support schools in protecting against potential threats.
