(Estimated Final Signatures: 3,490 - 15 added in the past 24hrs)
We ask the Government to issue a formal apology for the Balfour Declaration and Britain’s actions in Mandate-era Palestine, and to commit to funding educational initiatives that acknowledge this history. This should include public resources and curriculum support reflecting Britain’s role.

- 138 Signatures

- 87 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 87 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)

Fund Free Childcare for all Full-Time Student Parents (Not Means Tested)
- 85 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 85 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
Fund free childcare for parents who are full-time students. This support should not be means tested. Many student parents struggle to continue their education because childcare costs are too high. Current support is limited, excluding full-time students or depends on income thresholds.
Mandate all school times to start at 9am
- 66 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 66 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
I want the UK Government to require all schools to begin at 9am nationwide. I believe this would create safer, less rushed mornings and allow time for breakfast and travel, and this policy would support students’ health, improve learning conditions and create a fair standard across all schools.

Fund more registered care placements for children, ban unregistered placements
- 36 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 36 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
Government to fund more registered Ofsted inspected placements for children in care and ban the use of unregulated providers for all children under 18. We think increasing the number of places with regulated providers could address systemic inequities and children in care will be better protected.

- 29 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 29 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
We call on the Government to place a duty on schools & local authorities to ensure no child is allocated a school more than 30-minutes walk from home, otherwise transport must be provided. Academies & all state-funded schools must be required to expand capacity where local provision is insufficient
