Background

We think the Government should create an annual day of remembrance specifically for children killed in wars, conflicts, and acts of violence in the hope it might help todays young people find solutions to problems other than killing each other when they become adults.

Additional details

Schools across the country would be invited to hold two minutes silence on this day to remember all children who have died as an act of violence in the UK and across the world. Eventually schools across the world would be invited to do the same on this day.
