Open Petition since 23rd October 2025

Make it an offence to carry a catapult in public without lawful defence - 39,273 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 39,973 - 30 added in the past 24hrs)

Change the law so catapult possession in public is an offence. Currently, police must prove intent or use to cause harm. We propose it becomes an absolute offence, like air rifles, without lawful defence. Rising attacks on people, animals, and wildlife show stronger powers are needed.

The Government responsed to this petition on 16th December 2025 (View Full Response)
There are laws that can already be used against individuals who use catapults as a weapon, but the Government understands the concerns and is actively looking at this issue.

(Estimated Final Signatures: 36,165 - 10 added in the past 24hrs)

Many children with SEND are being failed. Some families can wait months or even years for support, leaving children without the education they are legally entitled to and causing long-term harm.

The Government responsed to this petition on 22nd January 2026 (View Full Response)

Open Petition since 25th November 2025

Withdraw the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill immediately - 22,847 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 25,590 - 38 added in the past 24hrs)

Government to withdraw the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill immediately, because it downgrades education for all children, undermines educators and parents. We think it will cause harm to children, with their details being digitally stored for anyone to use without permission.

The Government responsed to this petition on 4th February 2026 (View Full Response)
The Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill delivers on manifesto promises and will make progress towards the Opportunity Mission to break the link between young people’s background and future success.

Legislate to require drivers to report collisions with cats - 17,383 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 24,155 - 132 added in the past 24hrs)

It is legal in the UK to hit a cat when driving and not need to stop or report collisions, leaving them scared, alone, and in pain. Cats are important, loved, valued family members for many and we believe the law should reflect this.

The Government responsed to this petition on 3rd February 2026 (View Full Response)
The Government has no current plans to require drivers to report collisions with cats. However, the Road Safety Strategy will improve road safety for all road users, including cats and other animals.

The Government responsed to this petition on 6th January 2026 (View Full Response)
We will work with stakeholders to consider appropriate exemptions as we deliver the relevant regulations. Exemptions will need to be finely balanced against the risk of creating loopholes.
