UK Parliament Petitions

Recognise Chagossian community as a distinct category in official UK statistics

Many Chagossians are former residents of the British Indian Ocean Territory, removed in the 1960s–70s. The UK recognises them as a community while stating there is no permanent population. We call for formal recognition as a distinct ethnic

Fund national scheme for disabled person's free bus passes to include peak times

Only in London are disabled people allowed free transport before 9.30am – we believe the rest of the country deserves this freedom as well. Often we have hospital appointments in the early morning or need to get to work. Disabled travel pas

Ban doctors from making decisions to make do not resuscitate (DNR) orders

Ban doctors from making decisions not to attempt cardiopulmonary resuscitation. A DNR order should only be put in place by a person themselves or by their family who have the power to do so. Make doctors request a court order to otherwise m

We would like the dangers and consequences of oversexualisation of women added to the curriculum at KS4/5 so that young people can understand how this can affect victims in the short and long term. This is important as it can raise awarenes

Government to review local authority fees for grassroot football

We believe grassroots football is a vital pillar of British life. It is fun, builds essential physical fitness, and acts as a lifeline for the nation’s mental health, preventing thousands of cases of depression annually.

Ban No Caller ID phone calls

I'd like to ban the use of No caller ID phone calls, as well as measures to ensure that when a person blocks a phone number, that number can't still contact your number through no caller ID even if they're blocked.

Withdraw UK commitment to 2030 UN Agenda for Sustainable Development

We demand that the UK Govt. immediately withdraws its commitment to the UN 2030 Agenda’s sustainable development goals, to ensure the UK’s withdrawal before 2030, and the reversal of any steps or agreements that align with the 2030 UN Agend

Make horse tethering on roads and pavements illegal

I want it to be a fineable/arrest-able offence if someone tethers a horse in a road or pavement as it can put the horse and other people at risk of possible accidents. Leaving horses in busy areas can also cause the horse distress.

Expand eligibility for bereavement damages to adult children

Update the Fatal Accidents Act 1976 so adult children can claim bereavement damages for their parent’s death. We feel this current law excludes many families, is outdated, and needs reform to reflect modern family relationships.

Amend the British Museum Act to allow artefact repatriation

I would like for the government to reform the act, to allow the return of multiple contested items from the museum to the respective countries. For example, the Parthenon Sculptures, which were taken from Athens. The act is outdated and nee

Require inclusive changing tables for disabled children in public venues

Many disabled children still need changing support, but most baby tables can’t hold their weight. Families are forced to use unsafe, undignified spaces. Children deserve better. We need stronger, more inclusive changing tables.

Require protesters and police to be easily identifiable during protests

We want Parliament to require protesters to not cover their faces at protests and to ban police from covering badge numbers to ensure both protesters and police can be easily identifiable. We believe this ensures accountability for violence

We call on the Government to update child protection and family law by making child abandonment by a parent a criminal offence.

As a person with generalised anxiety disorder and OCD, I feel that my SSRI has had an immense positive impact on my mental health. I can only imagine this is the likely outcome for others too. I do not believe we should have to pay monthly

Require all new vans without rear windows to be fitted with cameras

Blind spots on vans without rear windows endanger vulnerable road users and drivers. We believe fitting mandatory reversing cameras would prevent accidents, protect lives, and make our streets safer.

Ban all therapy animals in prisons

Ban shelters from providing animals for prison services, or prison services acquiring them in any other way for therapy or for use as comfort animals. We think it's animal abuse.

Change the 30 free childcare hours to include Ofsted registered nannies

We believe nannies chances of employment are drastically reducing due to the 30 free hours only being offered to childminders and nursery settings, and call on the government to include registered nannies in the offer.

I want the government to increase funding for less commonly followed and played sports at lower levels to increase peoples ability to play sports they love.

Legislate to penalise or fine people who hoard stock of collectable/hobbyist items in order to resell them at inflated prices. This impacts collectible item economies and can price out standard consumers.
