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.

Continue Parental Responsibility Automatically when disabled children turn 18 - 18,953 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 19,373 - 10 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.

Keep the 5-Year ILR pathway for existing ECAA visa holders - 9,866 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 19,289 - 76 added in the past 24hrs)

We ask the UK Government to keep the 5-year route to Indefinite Leave to Remain for former ECAA (Turkish Businessperson) visa holders. Extending it to 10 years breaks previous commitments and unfairly affects those who built lives and businesses in the UK.

Criminalise & legally require schools to tackle bullying in & out of school - 16,052 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 16,280 - 3 added in the past 24hrs)

We urge the Government to make repeated bullying over the age of 10 a specific criminal offence, and to make it a legal requirement for schools to act on all forms of bullying, inside and out of school, and mandate mental health reviews after bullying-related self-harm.

The Government responsed to this petition on 26th November 2025 (View Full Response)
Bullying is never acceptable. Schools have duties to prevent and address it, and we continue to promote best practice whilst also improving early mental health support for young people.

Change law around box junctions to give drivers more leniency - 9,553 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 16,179 - 381 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:
