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.

Statutory guidance for Relationships Education, Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) and Health Education already includes curriculum content on how to recognise early signs of physical illness or unexplained changes to the body, which may include changes to the body as a result of breast cancer.
