End Detention After School
I fully support a school resolving discipline issues in any reasonable way WITHIN school time, however how can they have the right to detain children AFTER SCHOOL when the school day has ended - in other words, our time.
Under Article 5 of the European Convention of Human Rights it is illegal to detain children in school against their will without first securing a court order. The current UK law on school detention directly contradicts this and needs to be challenged.
We have seen an end to corporal punishment; and now we need to change this disciplinary anomaly where a school can exercise authority outside school hours.
You can't sign this petition because it is now closed. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
