Open Petition since 17th February 2026

Make it compulsory for children to wear gloves ice skating - 25,703 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 26,425 - 5 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.
Open Petition since 24th March 2026

Legislate to ban FPNs and prosecutions related to school attendance - 4,569 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 26,110 - None added in the past 24hrs)

We believe school fines & prosecutions do not help to improve school attendance. They are a blunt, ineffective tool & they do not tackle the root cause of attendance difficulties. I'm proposing the law is changed to ban FPNs & prosecutions. This will encourage collaboration rather than punishment.


Open Petition since 25th November 2025

Withdraw the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill immediately - 23,333 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 25,025 - 28 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.
Open Petition since 1st October 2025

Introduce a Pension Tax Lock to help protect retirement savings and incentives - 23,259 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 23,285 - 10 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.
Open Petition since 17th November 2025

Allow charities to rescue dogs with docked tails under the Animal Welfare Bill - 22,943 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 23,153 - 7 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 3rd February 2026

Ban the use of netting on roofs and outdoor structures - 10,778 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 23,106 - 1,325 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.


Open Petition since 5th December 2025

Introduce a Central Microchip Portal to help reunite missing pets without delay - 18,063 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 23,064 - 71 added in the past 24hrs)

In March 2024, the previous Government said it would make scanning, checking & reuniting lost & abducted pets more effective by introducing a central portal for approved users-vets, local authorities & police-to search all records instantly, instead of contacting databases individually.

The Government responsed to this petition on 23rd February 2026 (View Full Response)
Defra is currently working with the Association of Microchip Database Operators to develop commercial solutions that will provide easier access to microchip records for authorised users.
Open Petition since 2nd January 2026

Protect the Right to Live Without a Digital ID - 15,375 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 22,955 - 77 added in the past 24hrs)

I want a legal safeguard in all digital-ID laws that guarantees no one can be denied work, healthcare, banking, housing, or any other service for not having a government digital ID. Use must remain voluntary, and non-digital alternatives must always be available to prevent exclusion or pressure..

The Government responsed to this petition on 17th March 2026 (View Full Response)
The Government is introducing a Digital ID system and will legislate for it to be voluntary, and free to access for anyone who wants it. The Government is consulting on the design of that scheme.

Introduce prison sentences for deliberate cruelty to wild birds including pigeon - 20,716 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 21,980 - 10 added in the past 24hrs)

We call on the UK Government to amend existing wildlife and animal welfare legislation to introduce custodial prison sentences for any individual who deliberately goes out with the intention of injuring or killing wild bird, specifically including pigeons, using catapults or similar weapons.

The Government responsed to this petition on 23rd February 2026 (View Full Response)
There are existing laws to prohibit killing or injuring wild birds, including pigeons, which can carry a custodial sentence. The government is actively considering the issue of misuse of catapults.

Ban atmospheric geoengineering in UK - 6,302 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 21,420 - 885 added in the past 24hrs)

Prohibit all atmospheric geoengineering and weather-modification in the UK. These practices could raise environmental and public health concerns and lack transparency. We call for independent research, democratic oversight, and clear law.
