Open Petition since 10th April 2026

Change surrogacy law to recognise intended parents from birth - 112,835 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 113,252 - 7 added in the past 24hrs)

The law must change so intended parents in surrogacy arrangements are recognised as their child’s legal parents from birth. Families should not have to go through months of court proceedings and social worker visits to be recognised as the parents of a child they planned and love.

The Government responsed to this petition on 20th May 2026 (View Full Response)
We acknowledge delays to legal parenthood can cause uncertainty. The Government has no current plans to review surrogacy laws but will look to consider this in the future as time and capacity allows.
Open Petition since 17th February 2026

Make it compulsory for children to wear gloves ice skating - 28,173 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 28,177 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)

I'd like to for the law to be changed so children are only permitted to ice skate if wearing protective gloves to protect their hands. The blades are so sharp.

The Government responsed to this petition on 12th March 2026 (View Full Response)
The safety and welfare of those taking part in ice skating is absolutely paramount. We have no plans to change the law. The terms and conditions for ice skating are decided on a venue-by-venue basis.

Mandate standardised cancer training for all GPs in England - 17,365 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 18,508 - 14 added in the past 24hrs)

We ask the Government to mandate cancer training for all GPs in England, requiring all GPs to complete mandatory, standardised training on cancer red-flag symptoms, with formal assessment, regular revalidation, NHS England regulation, and GMC linkage to improve early diagnosis.

It is crucial that GPs are able to identify cancer symptoms early. Our National Cancer Plan and Jess’s Rule support this. Standards and training for GPs are led by regulatory and professional bodies.

(Estimated Final Signatures: 15,275 - 4 added in the past 24hrs)

Government must require all staff working in a catering service to be provided with basic coeliac disease awareness training, to ensure a set standard of understanding & awareness around the importance of meal preparation & food serving to a person with Coeliac disease including cross-contamination.

Open Petition since 24th April 2026

Review discharge of mental health patients - 14,561 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 14,845 - 4 added in the past 24hrs)

Why do we allow people struggling with mental health to be discharged alone. We think this is a huge safeguarding issue and not protecting the vulnerable. A review should consider requiring that patients are discharged into the care of someone. We think this could prevent the loss of lives.

The Government responsed to this petition on 8th June 2026 (View Full Response)
The Government agrees that people should be provided with the right support post-discharge, as set out in statutory guidance. There are no plans for a review.
Open Petition since 24th March 2026

Require all emergency services to record staff suicides - 14,650 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 14,718 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)

There is no mandatory system for recording suicides among emergency service staff, which could lead to underreporting and opportunities for prevention. Mandatory recording could reveal the true scale of the problem and enable effective, evidence-based support to protect those who protect the public.

The Government responsed to this petition on 8th May 2026 (View Full Response)
The Government is committed to supporting all emergency service workers. We recognise the variances in suicide data collection and are taking steps to improve this for ambulance services and police.
Open Petition since 23rd March 2026

Require NHS to offer routine third trimester pregnancy ultrasound scan - 11,762 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 14,537 - 702 added in the past 24hrs)

As a mother of a baby born via emergency c-section due to missed foetal compromise I urge the Government to require the NHS to offer a routine third trimester ultrasound scan. I think this could reduce emergency c-sections, stillbirths and lifelong disabilities due to missed foetal complications.

The Government responsed to this petition on 27th July 2026 (View Full Response)
The Government would consider a routine NHS third trimester ultrasound scan in the event of an evidence-based recommendation from the UK National Screening Committee. A call for new proposals is open.
Open Petition since 20th February 2026

Review NHS lipoedema care - 12,724 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 13,003 - 45 added in the past 24hrs)

We ask the Government review the NHS approach to diagnosis, referral and treatment of lipoedema. This should include GP training, access to conservative treatments, and clear pathways to specialist care.

The Government responsed to this petition on 20th July 2026 (View Full Response)
Numerous resources are available to support healthcare staff and integrated care boards in caring for patients with lipoedema, and we remain committed to reviewing new evidence as it emerges.
