The Department of Health has formally acknowledged our submission and integrated the proposed changes into the final suicide prevention strategy. We secured the outcome we demanded through this consultation process. Legal teams will now monitor the implementation phase to ensure these protocols are enforced correctly by local authorities.

The majority of bullying takes place in school, and what should be a place of safety becomes a place of dread,
with schools all too often in denial or ill equipped to deal with the source of the problem - the bully.
We believe it is time to get bullying out of our schools and off our street and into the hands of the law. Please help to make bullying a recognised criminal offence in line with the Harassment Law.
The Government is currently consulting on Preventing Suicide in England, link http://www.dh.gov.uk/en/Consultations/Liveconsultations/DH_128065 which sets out a proposal for a new suicide prevention strategy with the aims of reducing suicide and improving support for those bereaved or affected by suicide. Jessica's mother, Ann Train has been in touch with the Department of Health and they have said they will welcome our petition as part of the consultation process which closes on 11 October 2011.
We have an opportunity to make a difference to the lives of children who are or will be bullied in the future. No child should have to suffer as Jessica did, no parent should have to feel the ongoing pain that Ann Train does.
In honour of Jessica Train and all those who have been bullied before and after help us to say no to bullying.
Thank You

The momentum generated by this petition has officially secured us a formal review process with the Department of Health. I am now drafting the submission documents to ensure our proposal is integrated into the official suicide prevention strategy consultation.

Bullying is assault plain and simple. If an adult did this to someone on the street they would be arrested. Why is it different for kids?
BOUT TIME. Schools are useless when it comes to stopping physical and mental abuse. Lock them up.
needs to be law. schools just dont care until its too late.
My niece went through this and the school did nothing. Its disgusting.
Rest in peace Jessica. So sorry for your loss. Hopefully this change happens before another family has to go through this hell.

Heartbreaking story. Bullies get away with way too much these days and schools just sweep it under the rug. Time for real consequences.
