Abolish the Casey Commission into adult social care - 10,941 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 10,941 - 1 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.

The Government responsed to this petition on 11th May 2026 (View Full Response)
The Government will not abolish the Casey Commission. Social care needs long-term reform that people agree on. The Commission is building that consensus while the Government makes improvements now.

(Estimated Final Signatures: 10,729 - 14 added in the past 24hrs)

Prohibit hospitality businesses from automatically adding "discretionary" service charges to bills, and ban digital card readers from prompting customers with pre-set tip percentages before payment. We believe all tipping must be 100% voluntary and initiated by the customer.
