Violet-Grace’s Law - Life sentences for Death by Dangerous Driving

 Gov Responded - 25 Feb 2019 Debated on - 8 Jul 2019 View Jim Fitzpatrick's petition debate contributions 		15 Aug 2019

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.

 Gov Responded - 9 Jan 2019 Debated on - 25 Feb 2019 View Jim Fitzpatrick's petition debate contributions 		18 Jun 2019

We believe it is the parent’s fundamental right to teach their child RSE topics or to at least decide who teaches them and when and how they are taught. We want the right to opt our children out of RSE when it becomes mandatory in Sept 2020.

Make British Sign Language part of the National Curriculum

 Gov Responded - 17 Oct 2017 Debated on - 5 Mar 2018 View Jim Fitzpatrick's petition debate contributions 		12 Mar 2018
closed 2 years, 11 months ago

Around 50,000 people in the UK use British Sign Language, so why is this not taught in schools? There are many children who are born deaf, and we need to give them a better chance at a more integrated future. This is why BSL needs to be taught in schools.

 Gov Responded - 27 Oct 2017 Debated on - 29 Jan 2018 View Jim Fitzpatrick's petition debate contributions 		6 Apr 2018
closed 2 years, 11 months ago

Fireworks cause alarm, distress and anxiety to many people and animals. We call on the Secretary of State to make appropriate provision to secure that the risk of public use is the MINIMUM that is compatible with fireworks being used, as stated in Fireworks Act 2003 sect 2.
