UK Parliament Petitions

Give students the legal right to unrestricted toilet access in school

We are concerned about “zero-tolerance” toilet policies in schools which can force children to wait for escorts or deny toilet breaks and can cause physical harm (retention/bowel distress). We believe it violates the Equality Act, and we ca

Do not introduce digital driving licences

We do not want the Government to introduce digital driving licences, and we would like to preserve the card and paper form that already exists as we believe it is sufficient. We believe this could be a slippery slope to compulsory digital I

Require NHS organisations to introduce fragrance awareness measures, including signage, staff guidance, and consideration of low to zero fragrance areas to reduce preventable reactions in sensitive patients.

Recognise reputational abuse as a distinct form of abuse in the law

We call on the Government to introduce legislation recognising reputational abuse, including reputational sexualisation, as a distinct form of abuse in law.

Get rid of the reception baseline assessment

I want the Reception Baseline Assessment (RBA) to be scrapped so that teachers can focus on what really matters in those crucial first weeks of school, getting to know our children as individuals. Instead of administering a test that we thi

Strengthen suitable environment criteria for dogs under animal welfare act

We would like the Government to update the code of practice for the welfare of dogs with stronger criteria set for a suitable environment for dogs, including temperature based shelter and no tethering/caging which restrict a dog's movement.

Reform Child Maintenance: Introduce a set weekly rate per child

Replace current income-based percentage system with a standardized set weekly rate per child. We think this would ensure all children receive a fair & consistent amount of support, regardless of their parent’s employment status or career su

Review licensing affecting captive bred bird exhibitions

DEFRA has made it nigh on impossible to hold a sale and or exhibition of captive bred birds. We see no evidential reasoning or public consultation so I would like parliament to debate the reasoning behind this decision.

Protect people who may not have a bank account from not being able to purchase items via cash

Reinstate capital punishment for those convicted of sexually abusing of a child

Change the law to allow for the death penalty to be imposed to anyone convicted for raping or sexually abusing a child or vulnerable person.

Ban the sale of secondhand and unroadworthy cars to underage drivers

Make it a legal requirement at the point of sale of a secondhand vehicle to request proof of age and photo id, update the current V5C, and develop a seller portal via the DVLA vehicle check system. Failure to follow this process should lead

Stop taxing UK citizens on the state pension

British citizens who have, though out their working life, paid National Insurance & tax, should not then be taxed on the state pension regardless of other earning/pensions.

Abolish council Tax

I would like the government to abolish council tax

We urge the Government to prohibit UK Border Force vessels from picking up and collecting migrants from the English Channel, and to only detain them once they land in the UK.

I want the government to provide funding and encourage dentists to reopen their lists for NHS patients.

The Breastfeeding etc. (Scotland) Act 2005 makes it an offence to prevent/stop a person feeding a child milk in a public place.

Provide urgent ring-fenced funding for counsellors in every school in England

The government promised in their election manifesto that they would provide access to specialist mental health professionals in every school. I want ring-fenced funding for this to be rolled out urgently. I think all schools should be able

Remove the VAT on Period Swimwear and Sportswear

We want the Government to remove the 20% VAT on period swimwear and sportswear. We think these essential products are unfairly taxed as luxury items, creating barriers for women and girls to stay active during their periods.

Stop individuals in non-fault accidents being charged more for car insurance

I would like the government to require the motor insurance industry to change their policy procedures and not penalise innocent drivers who have been hit by other people's driving mistakes.

Review and mandate DNA testing to end honey fraud and protect real producers.

We urge the Government to bring forward regulations that mandate DNA testing to ensure honey purity. We believe that current tests fail to detect widespread adulteration.

Include 'Indo-Caribbean' as an ethnic group on Government documents

We ask the UK Government to include “Indo-Caribbean” as an ethnic group option on Government documents, alongside existing categories, so people of Indian-Caribbean heritage can accurately identify their ethnicity and be better represented

Increase the Carer’s Allowance to equal 35 hours at minimum wage

I want the Government to appreciate unpaid carers who can’t work and to increase the Carer’s Allowance so it equals the minimum wage. Many unpaid carers are only paid around £333 a month for a minimum 140 hours care every 4 weeks, which wor

Fund access to GLP-1 medications through the NHS for women with PCOS

Studies highlight the effectiveness of GLP-1 medications for women with PCOS. We think funding access to GLP-1 treatments, without restrictive BMI criteria or tier system barriers, would improve care and outcomes for these patients.

Ban the use of Prong collars and Electric Shock Collars on Dogs and Cats in UK

Ban the use of Prong Collars & Electric Shock Collars for use on Dogs and cats in the UK. We believe they are inhumane, inflict pain, fear and anxiety leading to potential physical and psychological damage, while punishment tools can increa
