This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Statutory guidance for Relationships Education, Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) and Health Education already includes curriculum content on how to recognise early signs of physical illness or unexplained changes to the body, which may include changes to the body as a result of breast cancer.
