Preventing knife crime in schools

We the undersigned petition the council to Collect as many signatures as possible to petition the government to install knife arches in schools

This petition is not about searching innocent children, it is about preventing an extreme crime before it happens. Knife crime is getting worse and it is found in places that we would never think it would happen. And before the worst happens in a school we should be acting now to prevent it. I want to petition the government to install knife arches in all schools because the truth is that even primary school children can and sometimes do carry knife’s. Wiltshire is a beautiful place to live, but the sad truth is that people who want to commit knife crimes for any reason, live in all areas of this country and greater lengths are needed to take action to make it harder for them to act in schools. Children should be safe at school but the growing threat means that that safety is becoming jeopardised everyday.

This ePetition runs from 30/01/2025 to 30/06/2025.
