I want the Government to have an inquiry into sexual violence being reported in NHS hospitals, to come up with a plan to reduce incidents.

The Government responsed to this petition on 23rd October 2025 (View Full Response)
Sexual misconduct in NHS settings is unacceptable. We are working with system partners to eradicate sexual misconduct in the NHS. The Government has no plans to launch an inquiry at this time.

Make it a crime to abandon someone in immediate danger without seeking help - 7,750 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 24,795 - 303 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.


Open Petition since 13th August 2025

Hold a referendum on introducing mandatory identity cards in the UK - 23,956 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 24,199 - 12 added in the past 24hrs)

We urge the Government to hold a referendum on any proposal to introduce identity cards, including the proposed “BritCard.” We oppose the implementation of a mandatory national identity card system, as we believe it could risk turning personal identification into a tool for state control.

The Government responsed to this petition on 20th October 2025 (View Full Response)
We have no plans to hold a referendum on the new digital identity scheme. There will be other ways for people to join a national conversation, including through a forthcoming consultation.
Open Petition since 17th November 2025

Allow charities to rescue dogs with docked tails under the Animal Welfare Bill - 21,841 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 23,896 - 20 added in the past 24hrs)

We ask Parliament to include an exemption in the Animal Welfare (Import of Dogs, Cats and Ferrets) Bill for registered charities and approved, responsible rescue organisations to rehome adult, disease tested dogs, who were previously docked as working hunting dogs abroad.

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.
Open Petition since 1st October 2025

Introduce a Pension Tax Lock to help protect retirement savings and incentives - 22,714 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 23,274 - 9 added in the past 24hrs)

The Chancellor should introduce a Pension Tax Lock: a commitment not to reduce the amount people can withdraw from their pension tax-free or the amount of tax relief given on pension contributions. We believe this would help ensure retirement savings are protected and people can save with confidence

The Government responsed to this petition on 10th December 2025 (View Full Response)
The Government is committed to ensuring pensioners have security in retirement and has launched a Pensions Commission to look at what is required to ensure the system is strong, fair and sustainable.

New Disclosure and Safeguarding Mechanism for At-Risk Children - 19,624 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 21,031 - 1,689 added in the past 24hrs)

We propose a statutory safeguarding framework that facilitates proactive information sharing where a child is at risk due to a parent or caregiver’s known history, even when current laws may not trigger disclosure.

The Government responsed to this petition on 7th January 2026 (View Full Response)
We are delivering significant reform across children’s social care, policing and the family court system to better safeguard children and stop them falling through the cracks of services.
Open Petition since 25th November 2025

Withdraw the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill immediately - 12,211 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 20,766 - 69 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.


Open Petition since 11th August 2025

Continue Parental Responsibility Automatically when disabled children turn 18 - 20,012 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 20,201 - 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.

The Government responsed to this petition on 12th November 2025 (View Full Response)
The Government has no plans to legislate to allow parental responsibility to continue from age 18 in order to ensure that the best interests of young adults are protected in all cases.
Open Petition since 1st August 2025

Fund mandatory neurodevelopmental screening for all children - 19,092 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 20,099 - 1,030 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.


Open Petition since 22nd December 2025
