Legally ensure every adult patient has the right to a named advocate or support person with them throughout their hospital stay, similar to rights given to children.

Launch a review into resourcing & behaviour policies in Multi-Academy Trusts

We call on the Government to launch a review into Multi Academy Trusts (MATs) to investigate pupil wellbeing & behaviour policies. We are deeply concerned by what we feel is a lack of accountability, with many trusts operating with little t

Amend the Pet Abduction Act to include horses

I urge the government to consider horses as pets when it comes to the Pet Abduction Act.

Pass a new 'Freedom of Speech Protection Act'

Pass a new act which I believe could help define and protect lawful, non-violent, free speech from censorship by the state or tech companies in a broader, more detailed way than existing laws.

Revise the Current 'Right to Repair' regulations

We demand that the UK Government revise the current ‘right to repair’ regulations to include smartphones, cordless phones, tablets, and laptops.

Free school meals for all children

I think it is unfair that many families that work have to pay for their children’s school meals when already paying a significant amount of tax every month.

Ban behavioural data extraction for advertising

Ban the extraction of peoples behavioural data for advertising purposes. This extraction can happen on most internet-connected devices 24/7. Data is sold through Real Time Bidding (RTB) system which is easily accessible and data may be de-a

We want the Government to legislate to automatically remove any accusations proven to be false as a result of previous investigations from parents' children’s services records, so that parents do not have to declare an involvement in the pa

Abolish leasehold ownership

We call for the abolition of leasehold ownership in the UK. England and Wales are some of the few countries who adhere to this system of property ownership. We believe abolishing leasehold ownership would liberate leaseholders from this typ

Stop defining state pensions as a benefit

We want the Government to change the legal definition of state pensions and stop defining them as a benefit because we believe they are an Annuity paid for with national insurance contributions made by the person accepting the Annuity so in

Review SWE processes & the Fitness to Practice guidance

Review the Fitness to Practice processes, to ensure staff are adequately trained, reduce the volume of cases passed to case examiners, ensure hearings are kept for those whose fitness to practice is actually impaired. We think this would re

Fund more financial support for Counselling Psychology Doctorate

I would like financial support for trainee counselling psychologists to be the same as trainee clinical psychologists: tuition fee funded and salary equivalent to NHS Band 6.

Make Daylight Saving Time Permanent in the UK

I want the government to make Daylight Saving Time Permanent in the UK, as I believe changing clocks leads to confusion, can disrupt daily routines and can harm mental health.

Body cameras for all social workers to enhance accountability

We think requiring all social workers to wear body cameras would enhance accountability and transparency. We think this would ensure that all actions taken by social workers are just, honest, and free of personal bias or manipulation.

Make violence against transport workers a specific criminal offence

We call on the Government to make violence against transport workers a specific criminal offence in England and Wales. Transport workers can experience high levels of violence and abuse, putting their safety at risk, which must be stopped.

Make Nakba education part of the national curriculum

I believe the recent war in Gaza is a wake up call to the dehumanisation of Palestinians and injustices they face. I propose to make teaching about the Nakba part of the national curriculum. I believe this will help ensure this never happen

Ban the use of driver-facing cameras in HGVs and company vehicles

Ban the use of driver-facing cameras in HGVs and company vehicles. We think these cameras invade drivers’ privacy, breach data protection principles, and harm mental health without clear safety benefits. Only road-facing or external cameras

We think that any person convicted of serious sexual and/or violent offence(s) against another person with whom they share a child or children and receive a substantial custodial sentence of ten years or more, should automatically lose pare

We call on Government to consult with language teachers across all educational levels & use this evidence to develop a modern national strategy for foreign language teaching. This strategy should address curriculum content, assessment me

Government to maintain VAT relief on repairs for historic churches

We urgently call on the Government to maintain the Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme (LPWGS) and VAT relief on church repairs. Not doing so, we believe, adds a 20% tax burden on struggling congregations, threatening historic churches an

Ban all gambling advertisements

Ban all adverts that promote gambling on tv and in media.

Ban the media from allowing online comments about deceased prisoners

Ban online comments from being switched on regarding articles related to prisoners' death on social media. This would help prevent further trauma to the families of the deceased especially in cases involving homicide/suicide.

Make Carbohydrate Labelling Mandatory in all Restaurants and food establishments

Please consider advocating for legislation that makes the display of carbohydrate content compulsory for restaurant meals, in the same way that calorie labelling is currently mandated. This practical change would make eating out safer and m

Automatic ban of abusers' custody of children bereaved by domestic abuse suicide
