The recent budget has announced taxes on advanced payments and a decrease in mileage allowances. We believe this is unfair to the most vulnerable in society and could affect their independence.

- 1,254 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 3,336 - 115 added in the past 24hrs)
Many unpaid carers balance demanding caring responsibilities with the need to remain financially secure. We believe the current limit allowable for carers to earn is set way too low. It makes it difficult for carers to work, take on a second job, or rent out property to supplement their income.

- 1,604 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 2,219 - 6 added in the past 24hrs)
We want the Government to improve financial support for families by increasing statutory maternity pay to reflect living costs, reviewing Universal Credit income thresholds so working families are not excluded, and extending access to the Sure Start Maternity Grant or an equivalent payment.
Require all employers to include parental leave policies in job listings
- 1,708 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,732 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
Require all employers to include parental leave policies clearly in job listings. Some studies show only a small percentage currently do so. Making it a legal requirement could help ensure fair access to information. We believe without it, discrimination, unfair withdrawal of offers could result.

(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,655 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
Stop the deduction of Carers Allowance from the carers Universal Credit award, it shouldn’t be treated as an income.
Introduce a benefits payment card that can be used for essentials only
- 1,579 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,603 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
To ensure that welfare money is being spent on essentials to help those in need, introduce a payment card that can only be used for things like food, clothes, school supplies etc. We are concerned that the tax-payer could be funding non-essential items for those who rely on the state for support.
