Review conditions for parental rights to be removed

(Estimated Final Signatures: 119 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
I want the grounds in which parental responsibility can be removed to change.
Some children may be exposed to numerous disturbing things due to a parent and are highly traumatised due to this. I think it's wrong that this is only possible after something like murder for this to actually happen.

- 32 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 32 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
Review the legal framework which distinguishes BDSM from sexual assault. This framework should guide police and courts in assessing consent, including whether it was freely given, ongoing and could be withdrawn and outline prior discussion, agreed boundaries and absence of coercion or incapacity.

Review compliance process for financial orders in divorce settlements.
- 25 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 25 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
We believe similar enforcement to CMS mechanisms should exist for financial orders made in divorce proceedings, so that once a court order is made, compliance is monitored and enforcement action can begin automatically if the order is not followed.
Violet-Grace’s Law - Life sentences for Death by Dangerous Driving
- Final Signatures: 167,506
The men who killed our daughter drove a stolen a car at 83 mph in a 30 mph zone. They killed our 4-year-old daughter Violet-Grace and severely injured her nan, who has life-changing injuries. They will serve less time in prison than Violet was alive. I don’t want other families to suffer like this.
