Current laws only require indoor spaces to be \"reasonable,\" which gives no specific protection to students. Overheating causes a severe drop in concentration, headaches, and a genuine risk of heat exhaustion. This petition calls for a clear legal maximum limit of 31°C or more in schools. If classrooms exceed this, schools must be required to switch to remote learning or end the day early.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":17,"created_at":"2026-06-21T14:47:05.356Z","updated_at":"2026-07-16T14:41:28.766Z","rejected_at":"2026-07-16T14:41:27.497Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-06-21T16:10:20.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"You may wish to sign the following petition, which calls for similar action:\r\n\r\nLegislate a statutory maximum temperature for classrooms and fund school cooling\r\nhttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/774023"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
