Put age restrictions on all bladed objects to prevent self-harm in children

Petition Details

1 in every 5 children have a mental health condition and many parents feel their child’s mental health deteriorates whilst waiting on the NHS CAHMS waiting list. The rise in children self-harming is increasing and leading to hospital admissions.

Additional Information

Many children are easily removing the blades from small items such as stationery which can be bought cheaply from a shop without age restrictions. This can lead to serious harm to a child and scarring as it is a blade. I am petitioning for all sharps that can cause injury to have age restrictions on them the same as razor blades and knifes.
