In recent years, concern for children’s safety in schools has grown significantly amongst many people in the UK, and this issue deeply resonates with me as a parent, due to the rise in incidents involving weapons on school premises. Shockingly, many students have begun to carry knives.

Fund security guards and CCTV on school premises & introduce new protocols
We believe there has been a rise in threats to schools and we ask the Government to implement security measures to protect our children. We urge the Government to fund security guards and CCTV on all school premises, and require routine lockdown protocols in all schools.
Require metal detectors and bag and ID checks at all mainline railway stations
The government should ensure all major mainline railway stations, where passengers can board a train that will travel non-stop for more than 15 minutes, are fitted with airport-style security, such as baggage scanners, metal detectors and ID checks.
Provide funding to subsidise school uniforms for all children
We want the Government to provide funding to subsidise free or significantly more affordable school uniforms for all school children to help families. We believe no child should be excluded or disadvantaged from education as their family can’t afford compulsory uniform.
Fund an increase in school meal sizes
Increase school meal sizes by providing more funding to stop children being hungry at pick up time.
Provide government funding for early dyslexia screening in all primary schools
We are calling on the Government to provide funding for early dyslexia screening in all primary schools. Early identification allows teachers and parents to give children the right support from the start, improving literacy, wellbeing, and long-term learning outcomes.
