- 18,396 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 18,985 - 9 added in the past 24hrs)
Change the law to automatically allow parents or carers to retain parental responsibility when their disabled child turns 18, if the child lacks capacity and remains in the parent’s care. We think this would remove the need for costly and unnecessary applications to the Court of Protection.

- 5,905 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 6,328 - 5 added in the past 24hrs)
Introduce a bill to protect babies in the womb once a heartbeat is detected. It bans abortion of healthy babies beyond this point, with exceptions for rape, to save the mother’s life, or if the child has a fatal foetal abnormality.

- 5,635 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 5,746 - 4 added in the past 24hrs)
We think concurrent sentences is not justice. We urge lawmakers to end concurrent sentencing and require consecutive sentences for violent offences. Stand with us—sign this petition for true justice.
Review family court system to help prevent post-separation abuse
- 4,883 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 5,004 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
We want the government to review the family court system to help prevent post-separation abuse. This should look at training on coercive control, protections for abuse survivors, and strict limits on use of “parental alienation” claims that we feel can silence legitimate safeguarding concerns.

Review how officials, including judges, social workers, CAFCASS and police, can be held accountable for incorrect decisions regarding the removal of a child from a parent's care, including in cases where a parent's mental health is severely impacted.

I would like the Government to mandate that those convicted for murder should begin their sentences in category A prisons. I believe they should do this to help protect our society.
Higher minimum penalties for death by dangerous driving
- 2,425 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 2,671 - 6 added in the past 24hrs)
I want people who have committed death by dangerous driving due to drugs to permanently have their licence removed and never have chance to reapply, and longer sentences for death by dangerous driving with a minimum of 20 years without parole.
Require headstones to be laid flat & legislate for regular safety checks
- 2,327 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 2,356 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
Require all headstones to be laid flat and properly secured to the ground. We think there should be rules set out in legislation about how headstones are safety checked and the frequency of these checks.
Ban plea deals in serious sexual offence cases against children & the vulnerable
- 1,997 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 2,098 - 3 added in the past 24hrs)
We want the government to change the law so that plea bargains are not allowed in cases of serious sexual offences against children or vulnerable people. We think the CPS should be required to pursue charges that reflect the full severity of the crime.
