Bullying laws often focus on schools, which are the site of a large amount of bullying behaviour, with bullying being the most problematic during the secondary school years.\r\n\r\nBullying laws have pursued different programs and agendas. Laws may or may not criminalise bullying, some preferring to keep the handling of such situations in the realm of families and schools (when appropriate) rather than the courts. Laws may require reports of bullying by school personnel who witness it, and prescribe responses to bullying that includes investigation and imposing disciplinary measures, notification for parents, and support and counselling of targets.\r\n\r\n\r\nSource: http://www.bullyingstatistics.org/content/bullying-laws.html","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":1,"created_at":"2013-03-01T10:27:53.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:28:54.996Z","rejected_at":"2017-06-21T12:40:49.812Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2013-03-01T10:27:53.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"no-action","details":null},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}},{"type":"archived-petition","id":46664,"links":{"self":"https://preview.epetitions.website/archived/petitions/46664.json"},"parliament":{"period":"2010-2015","government":"Conservative – Liberal Democrat coalition","dissolution_at":"2015-03-30T23:59:59.000+01:00","response_threshold":10000,"debate_threshold":100000},"attributes":{"action":"Make St David's Day (1st March) a Bank Holiday","background":null,"additional_details":"St Patricks Day has been a bank holiday in Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland for about 100 years, A few years ago St Andrews Day was made a bank holiday in Scotland.
