Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do as we're not sure if you're referring to spent or unspent convictions, employment or volunteering. If your petition is about something that the Football Association (FA) is responsible for, we can't accept a petition about it but you could contact the Football Association about your concerns.
You could start a new petition explaining more clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. The following government guidance may be helpful: www.gov.uk/government/publications/disclosing-your-criminal-record-guidance-for-those-with-offences/disclosing-your-criminal-record
