Protect legal right to support for children with SEND - 115,071 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 116,459 - 709 added in the past 24hrs)

I believe that the Government’s proposed SEND reforms could limit EHCPs, weaken legal rights, replace individual plans with packages, reduce appeals, and remove school choice. In my view, children could be left without the support they need as a result.

The Government responsed to this petition on 22nd June 2026 (View Full Response)
The government’s SEND reform proposal will strengthen legal duties, better support children with SEND in mainstream settings and ensure EHCPs secure statutory support for children with complex needs.

Remove sentence reductions for guilty pleas in controlling and coercive cases - 105,969 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 106,093 - 13 added in the past 24hrs)

I want the Government to introduce legislation so that defendants charged with controlling or coercive behaviour cannot receive a sentencing reduction for a guilty plea entered after initially pleading not guilty. This should be known as Paris’s Law.

The Government responsed to this petition on 11th May 2026 (View Full Response)
Guilty pleas given later in the process can still benefit victims and the administration of justice but are reflected by a substantially lower reduction in sentence.

The Government is committed to maintaining high standards of conduct in public life, but has no plans to introduce rules to codify or mandate MPs' attendance in Parliament or their constituencies.

(Estimated Final Signatures: 15,805 - 306 added in the past 24hrs)
