Make it mandatory that all schools have air conditioning in classrooms.
Make it mandatory that all schools have air conditioning and more lenient policies in place during extreme heat to prevent heat related illnesses
My son has extreme heat rash from over heating in the classroom that has required medical intervention and steroids. He has had to stay home from school to prevent it getting worse. There is nothing to keep the children cool in the school. Classrooms are full with nothing in place to reduce the temperature. Heat is very dangerous for children.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Schools are already responsible for the health and safety of pupils, and the Government has published guidance on looking after children during heatwaves: www.gov.uk/government/publications/heatwave-plan-for-england/looking-after-children-and-those-in-early-years-settings-during-heatwaves-for-teachers-and-professionals
Decisions about specific measures to put in place to mitigate the effects of hot weather are a matter for individual schools, not the UK Government or Parliament.
