- 19,812 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 20,081 - 9 added in the past 24hrs)
Change the law to automatically allow parents or carers to retain parental responsibility when their disabled child turns 18, if the child lacks capacity and remains in the parent’s care. We think this would remove the need for costly and unnecessary applications to the Court of Protection.

Make it mandatory for schools to allow students to go to the toilet at all times throughout the school day when they need to and do not lock toilets so that they aren’t accessible during certain times of the day.

- 6,589 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 19,616 - 99 added in the past 24hrs)
We urge the Government to introduce a law giving all UK citizens legal ownership of their face, voice, and likeness. This would protect people from unauthorised use in AI, media, or advertising and allow individuals to control and license their own identity.

(Estimated Final Signatures: 17,895 - 964 added in the past 24hrs)
My sister Danielle died from asphyxiation during a domestic incident. She was locked in a property & died as result of being alone. There is currently no law requiring someone to take action when a life is at risk.
Introduce an independent appeals panel for school absences
- 5,489 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 17,635 - 539 added in the past 24hrs)
As it stands, the decision whether a school absence is authorised or not lies solely with the headteacher or designated attendance officer. If this person deems the absence as not "exceptional" enough, or marks an illness absence as unauthorised, there is no formal right of appeal for parents.
Change law around box junctions to give drivers more leniency
- 11,185 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 17,410 - 103 added in the past 24hrs)
A report suggested that many yellow boxes are bigger than they need to be, on average by 50%. We believe the current rules may be abused by some authorities to raise revenue with no evidence of any benefits to traffic flow. Change law to give drivers more leniency with the suggestions below:
Require DBS Checks for Tattoo Artists in England
- 7,784 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 17,370 - 111 added in the past 24hrs)
We call on the government to introduce mandatory DBS checks for all licensed tattoo artists in England. Wales has shown this approach works. DBS checks will prevent those with violent or sexual criminal histories from working with clients, protecting public safety and ensuring trust in the industry.
Fund mandatory neurodevelopmental screening for all children
- 15,506 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 17,043 - 618 added in the past 24hrs)
Screening could take place in primary care, including GP appointments, health visitor reviews, and school entry health at key developmental stages. It should involve early, trauma-informed, and identity-safe screening tools, with clear referral pathways, follow-up support, and outcomes monitored.
Make impersonating military service/wearing unearned medals a criminal offence

I want Parliament to make it a criminal offence for anyone to dishonestly claim to have served in the Armed Forces, or to wear military uniforms or medals they are not entitled to wear.
