Make it compulsory for children to wear gloves ice skating - 25,798 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 26,036 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)

I'd like to for the law to be changed so children are only permitted to ice skate if wearing protective gloves to protect their hands. The blades are so sharp.

The Government responsed to this petition on 12th March 2026 (View Full Response)
The safety and welfare of those taking part in ice skating is absolutely paramount. We have no plans to change the law. The terms and conditions for ice skating are decided on a venue-by-venue basis.

Abolish interest charges on student loans - 21,484 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 25,545 - 36 added in the past 24hrs)

Cancel interest charges on all student loans. We believe placing this burden on the backs of those that want to succeed in life is abhorrent and short-sighted. These charges penalise our brightest and best, the very people that contribute the most to society.

The Government responsed to this petition on 23rd March 2026 (View Full Response)
Student loans are heavily subsidised by government. To be fair to taxpayers and low earners, those who financially benefit should contribute to the cost. Adding interest to loans is one way to do this

Abolish the Casey Commission into adult social care - 8,583 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 24,511 - 395 added in the past 24hrs)

We believe the Casey Commission is a barrier to desperately needed social care reform, a delaying mechanism and a waste of taxpayer’s money. We want the Government to abolish the commission and instead focus on resolving the social care crisis, preferably on a cross-party basis.

Withdraw the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill immediately - 23,583 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 23,653 - 2 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.

Ban the use of netting on roofs and outdoor structures - 16,010 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 23,647 - 103 added in the past 24hrs)

Thousands of birds are reported to get trapped in netting yearly, and many may die in pain and fear from the horrific injuries sustained trying to free themselves e.g. breaking their entangled limbs. Others may die of dehydration and starvation and rescuers are too late.

The Government responsed to this petition on 17th April 2026 (View Full Response)
Anyone using bird netting as a deterrent has a responsibility to check and maintain it to prevent trapping and unnecessary suffering.

Allow charities to rescue dogs with docked tails under the Animal Welfare Bill - 23,152 Signatures

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.
