Rejected petition: Require transparency & fair criteria in local security funding & police pacts
Rejected on
Publish a full breakdown of community security funding and explain the criteria used for police partnerships. Ensure funding and formal cooperation are allocated transparently, consistently, and equally to all communities facing hate crime or targeted violence.
This petition asks the Government to be transparent about how community security funding and police partnerships are decided. It calls for publication of funding allocations, clear decision‑making criteria, and equal access to support for all communities facing hate crime or targeted violence. The aim is fairness, accountability, and consistency, not reducing protection for any group.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Information about policing bodies expenditure and governance is already required to be published under existing legislation.
We are therefore unclear how the action sought in this petition is different to what is already happening.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
