This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Section 17 Paragraph 1(b) of the Children Act 1989 is already in force and can therefore be legally enforced. Decisions on whether legal requirements are met are a matter for the courts.

If you'd like a change to the law, you could start a new petition setting out clearly what you'd like to be changed.
