Open Petition since 25th November 2025

Withdraw the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill immediately - 21,583 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 29,416 - 93 added in the past 24hrs)

Government to withdraw the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill immediately, because it downgrades education for all children, undermines educators and parents. We think it will cause harm to children, with their details being digitally stored for anyone to use without permission.

The Government responsed to this petition on 4th February 2026 (View Full Response)
The Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill delivers on manifesto promises and will make progress towards the Opportunity Mission to break the link between young people’s background and future success.

Introduce an independent appeals panel for school absences - 13,674 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 28,944 - 137 added in the past 24hrs)

As it stands, the decision whether a school absence is authorised or not lies solely with the headteacher or designated attendance officer. If this person deems the absence as not "exceptional" enough, or marks an illness absence as unauthorised, there is no formal right of appeal for parents.

Ban the non-stun slaughter of animals - 26,143 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 27,537 - 134 added in the past 24hrs)

Ban non-stun slaughter. We think it is cruel and causes unnecessary harm to the animals being slaughtered/butchered.

The Government responsed to this petition on 10th February 2026 (View Full Response)
The government prefers all animals to be stunned before slaughter. The law established in 1933 respects the rights of Jews and Muslims to eat meat prepared in accordance with their religious beliefs.

Introduce a Pension Tax Lock to help protect retirement savings and incentives - 23,057 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 23,190 - 3 added in the past 24hrs)

The Chancellor should introduce a Pension Tax Lock: a commitment not to reduce the amount people can withdraw from their pension tax-free or the amount of tax relief given on pension contributions. We believe this would help ensure retirement savings are protected and people can save with confidence

The Government responsed to this petition on 10th December 2025 (View Full Response)
The Government is committed to ensuring pensioners have security in retirement and has launched a Pensions Commission to look at what is required to ensure the system is strong, fair and sustainable.
