Fund mandatory neurodevelopmental screening for all children - 29,345 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 29,345 - 560 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.

The Government responsed to this petition on 28th January 2026 (View Full Response)
The government recognises the need for early intervention and support for children. At present the evidence does not support neurodevelopmental screening for all children.

Stop the double tax (IHT & Income Tax) of pension funds & death benefits - 25,792 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 25,871 - 16 added in the past 24hrs)

The Government are introducing inheritance tax to pension funds & death benefits from April 2027. When you die this may now result in a disproportionate and unfair double taxation on beneficiaries (income tax and inheritance tax) which we think results in a disincentive to funding a pension.

The Government responsed to this petition on 18th September 2025 (View Full Response)
More than 90 per cent of estates will still pay no inheritance tax each year. The Government is continuing to incentivise pensions for their intended purpose of funding retirement.

Legislate to require drivers to report collisions with cats - 13,886 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 24,556 - 79 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.

Ban the non-stun slaughter of animals - 21,949 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 24,436 - 639 added in the past 24hrs)

Open Petition since 13th August 2025

Hold a referendum on introducing mandatory identity cards in the UK - 24,052 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 24,119 - 6 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.

(Estimated Final Signatures: 23,894 - 10 added in the past 24hrs)

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.

Review and reform legal status of pets, and rules on animal control equipment - 10,291 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 23,712 - 86 added in the past 24hrs)

I ask the Government to review and reform the status of pets to recognise them in all cases as sentient family members and relatives, not chattel. Set out specific strict rules on using animal-control equipment like catch poles and strong penalties if negligence or force cause harm or death to pets.

Open Petition since 1st October 2025

Introduce a Pension Tax Lock to help protect retirement savings and incentives - 22,796 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 23,319 - 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.
