(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,661 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
UK grandparents have no automatic right of contact with their grandchildren. They can lose contact with a grandchild if the parents split up or for other reasons. I run a support group for affected grandparents and would like there to be a parliamentary debate to find a better solution.

There should be harsh minimum sentences for young people who carry or attack with a bladed weapon. If they have committed a crime with full intention then they should be treated as an adult, including being given a harsh sentence in prison.

- 725 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 757 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
The Government must recruit more probation officers, increase funding for probation services and conduct an urgent review into working conditions for staff. We believe the Probation Service is critically past its maximum capacity to manage dangerous offenders and staff are burned out.

We believe that parents of neurodiverse children often face real difficulties in their interactions with state agencies. In some cases, allegations are made that the parent is causing false or induced illness in their child.
