Legislate to require and fund schools to hold spare adrenaline auto-injectors, provide mandatory allergy training for staff, and mandate an allergy policy in every school. We think this would help keep children with allergies safe at school and prevent avoidable deaths.

- 5,568 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 6,216 - 7 added in the past 24hrs)
We call on the Government to withdraw the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill. We believe it downgrades education for all children, and undermines educators and parents. If it is not withdrawn, we believe it may cause more harm to children and their educational opportunities than it helps
