This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

It is already legal for 14 year olds to work within certain limits. We are therefore not sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.

You could start a new petition if you would like these rules to be changed, for example if you would like under 16s to receive a minimum wage.
