To promote the inclusion of all hearing impaired peoples in our society. Hearing impairment is often invisible which can lead to the isolation of hearing impaired children and adults in our society. If sign language and deaf awareness is taught in all schools across the UK, the communication barriers between the hearing and deaf world can be dissolved and an enrichment of society can take place which can only benefit all.

Asad Khan an 11 year old boy from Bradford took his own life on the eve of Wednesday the 28th of September as a result of bullying - an 11 year old should not contemplate such an action - what drove him to it is serious - he had just started a new school and 3 weeks in the bullies had pushed him to this extent. It is absolutely heartbreaking - this needs to stop - let's take action and do something - we have failed Asad and many others as a society lets not fail another child - especially one as young as 11.

Because there are many children and adults who are non verbal or who have speech problems who need help to find ways to communicate other than speech.

I feel this is important for children to know that talking about mental health is ok and isn't looked down on. Also to show them the signs of a mental health disorders, how to help people that are affected and to tell them who they can talk to if they feel they are affected.

When parents park in these places it leaves those crossing the roads unable to see and be seen as they create blind spots for both drivers and pedestrians. Even worse is when parents are forced to walk into the road at the busy junctions with their children in tow, often with push chairs because drivers have left no space on the pavement (such as the bottom of Hillcroft Rd). These drivers also create a nuisance to neighbours, making life during the week stressful and upsetting. These inconsiderate drivers do not care, and despite Mr Merrell (the headteacher) doing his best to control the situation the drivers of the cars just do not care, even ignoring him when he stands at the school gate to try to deter this behaviour. He receives around 6 parking complaints a day, so it is time we helped and made our voices heard. Mr Merrell has been asking the council to make our area into a category B parking area which will mean we will have parking attendants to deter the bad parkers and make them park further away from the school. Please help us and help yourselves and your children by signing this petition! Once we have reached 100 signatures it will be sent into Trafford Council. So many of us are fed up and angry with the terrible parking happening on our doorsteps and outside of our children's school. Please help make a difference by signing the petition and campaigning for traffic wardens to be in force at school pick up and drop off times.

The scheme currently being implemented was designed to give safe passage to pedestrians and school children through the village. However, from the start of the campaign it was clear that the main priority was improved vehicular access to one property on the lane. The village as a whole voted for a cheaper and safe footpath to be installed. Despite this clear majority the council have instead decided to spend an estimated 1/3 of a £ million on improving the lane surface. This not only makes it much more dangerous for pedestrians but also is a complete waste of public money in a time of austerity. There has not been one single incident of school children or pedestrians being hurt by vehicles on school lane. There are numerous schools in Cardiff where there have been many documented incidents. Instead of spending money on improving safety at these schools Cardiff Council have decided to spend ludicrous amounts of money on improving the surface of the lane in the name of "safe routes to school". It doesn't make sense. It reeks of corruption and collusion. Throughout all of this the Council has purposefully left the residents of school lane in the dark. When they have responded they have lied. This has to stop! On top of this the scheme is destroying a historic part of the village with an ugly urban road. They are proposing to remove protected trees from the woodland and widening the lane. This is in a conservation area! Help to keep school children safe! Help to stand up against corruption! Help to save public money!

Sexual harassment in schools is a huge problem. When I was teaching, I often heard boys talk about how girls were "asking for it" and who saw no problem with cat-calling and wolf-whistling. We have a responsibility to make sure all girls can go to school and not face offensive name-calling, groping and unwanted sexual attention. Schools should be held accountable for tackling sexual violence and harassment - and teaching children how unacceptable this kind of behaviour is should be in the curriculum. The classroom is the perfect setting in which to tackle, and put an end to, the toxic behaviours that impact girls every day. But unless it’s the priority of all schools, it’ll always get put to the bottom of the list.

It costs £380 per year per child to travel to school by bus. The council thinks the children that live within a 3 mile radius of the secondary schools could walk. By the time they got to school in wet weather they would be soaked. In low temperatures they could fall on untreated paths and roads. It's a long walk especially after a long day in school. But since the council sees it as a walkable journey each day they allow local bus companies to provide a service at the cost of £10 per week per child. This service should be free of charge. As it is in some other Welsh local authority areas. This school year without any consultation with parents the price of travel increased by a massive 21% per year. The council says it has nothing to do with them. I believe it has everything to do with them when they decide to allow the bus company to charge in the first place. The council should be paying the bus company and providing a free service to the children.

The ACC are pitching to build a new school in Torry when we have a perfectly good school that they have abandoned and left to rot. Instead of trying to find another location in Torry and demolish this one, we need to put the £20 million into restoring this beautiful building and reopening it. The ACC simply cannot keep destroying our heritage.

As parents are being made to support 2 schools and face logistical nightmares up and down the country.

From Monday 1 August this year, students starting university courses in England will no longer be able to apply for grants towards living costs. Grants for students from low-income homes will now be replaced by loans. Previously, students from families with annual incomes of £25,000 or less received a full grant of £3,387 a year. The National Union of Students have said the move was "disgraceful" and meant poorer students would be saddled with a lifetime of debt. The switch from grants to maintenance loans was announced in July 2015 by the then Chancellor, George Osborne, in his Budget. Mr Osborne said at the time that there was a "basic unfairness in asking taxpayers to fund grants for people who are likely to earn a lot more than them". But is it fair that the very MPs who belong to a generation whose further education was largely funded by the tax payer are now denying the same opportunities to learn to the poorest in our society? Isn't it true that we as a society benefit when those people whose studies we've helped to fund go on to bring us innovations as scientists, better health care as doctors, consultants and surgeons, or improvements to industry and infrastructure as engineers for example? To say that we can't afford this investment is ridiculous. If we can afford to invest in a weapon system we've said we'll never realistically use then surely we can afford to invest in our future generations? So please sign to urge the government to think again and return maintenance grants to those who simply can't afford to study without them.

The actions of the NEC are so undemocratic they do not belong in this country. All across society they have excluded members and supports with bitter choices. This cannot be allowed to go on in The Labour Party.
