Scoliosis Testing In Schools

Target: The Government and Local Councils
Region: United Kingdom
Background (Preamble):
My petition is to help raise awareness for scoliosis by sending this petition, with the following aims to the PM and MP'S.
To test a child for scoliosis at certain ages will take less than a minute (with a forward bend test) but will help the child as 1 in 3000 people have scoliosis (curvature of the spine) so bad they have to have major surgery, which takes months to fully recover from. if they were tested earlier then this could have been prevented , in some cases, by use of a brace.
So please sign this petition and help children across the U.K.
