Introduce an NHS data opt-out & require a consultation for system expansions - 25,057 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 28,838 - 45 added in the past 24hrs)

Introduce a clear national opt-out for NHS data processed in the Federated Data Platform (FDP) and National Data Integration Tenant (NDIT) and require a full public consultation before any further expansion of these systems.

The Government responsed to this petition on 26th February 2026 (View Full Response)
The National Data Opt-Out does not apply to the NDIT or FDP as data use supports direct care, is legally required or is anonymised. National public engagement is shaping changes to the opt-out system.

Make it compulsory for children to wear gloves ice skating - 25,791 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 26,128 - 4 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.

Withdraw the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill immediately - 23,553 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 23,793 - 6 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.
