- 9,397 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 10,356 - 143 added in the past 24hrs)
We call on the government to introduce mandatory DBS checks for all licensed tattoo artists in England. Wales has shown this approach works.

- 7,863 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 9,025 - 10 added in the past 24hrs)

- 3,122 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 3,180 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)

Ban banks from denying service to sex workers because of their work
- 1,534 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,695 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
Many sex workers are being denied banking services, including account closures and mortgage refusals, because their lawful work is labelled “high risk". Other sectors considered "high risk", such as gambling, have managed to negotiate terms for banking. Why should the sex industry be any different?

- 1,212 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,412 - 11 added in the past 24hrs)
Research bodies and representation of specialist interests is important when making policy. However, think tanks go beyond merely brainstorming ideas and presenting data and arguments. They can push stories and PR to media outlets to influence the public before policy is made.

- 1,315 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,318 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
