Petition Action

Give some leway on taking just water to school

Petition Details

I understand there is a policy in schools to only take water for children to drink through the day. I think there should be some leway on this as not all children like water and on hot days their not drinking enough.

Additional Information

Children should be able to take flavoured still water or sugar free dilute juice.
I wouldn't rather a child drink throughout the day then have a child dehydrated in hospital. Schools can not force a child to drink water if they don't like it.
Having a drink is a human right!

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.

Decisions about what drinks children can take to school are a matter for individual schools, not the Government or House of Commons.

As a result it is not possible for the Government or House of Commons to take the action you have requested.
