Because we feel that even though the stigma of male nurses and midwifes is falling, it's still not enough for the public to know. We conducted an interview and all of the people said we should try to reduce the stigma of male nurses so we feel it's right to start a petition.

Our daughter attends a speech and language base, she has been there for almost two years, in this time not only has her speech come on (she hardly spoke when first attended) but her confidence has grown too. All the staff are brilliant and have built up a lovely relationship with her. She struggles when she goes into mainstream class in the afternoon with the amount of children and noise. She really wouldn't be where she is today if it wasn't for 'the base' at her school so please please help to try and stop the closure of other bases. Our daughter is one of many children with special educational needs that really need the help, care and support these bases offer. This will have an impact on the surrounding schools and bases for all these children with special educational needs. Why should they be the ones who suffer!!!! Please sign the petition Thank you

This is very important because people are not aware that there is help that they can get everyone has a right to feel safe when it comes to there mental state .

The sixth form at Sandown bay has always been successful. The 2017 results were above average again, despite the turmoil created by the current uncertainties in the future of the school. There is no alternative in the area. Transport issues including costs will put off those who are capable of post 16 study but will have to travel. Younger students need to see a visible 6th form to aspire them to learn and give them an educational goal to work towards.

Lives could be saved and injuries could be lessened if everyone was aware of even the most basic of first aid. From nose bleeds to broken bones, concussion to knife injury, if people knew the 1st steps, basic ‘what to do’ in a situation whilst waiting for paramedics, further injury or trauma could be minimised.

Cllr Margaret Pattison, Cllr Janice Hanson, Cllr Darren Clifford and Cllr David Whittaker are very concerned with living in a seaside area such as Morecambe and Heysham that children should have a local pool to learn to swim. The pool has 54.000 visitors a year with 16 schools using the pool for swimming lessons and groups helping people to keep fit and healthy, if closed this would effect the health and safety of the people in Morecambe.

The EU referendum represented a low point in post war UK democratic politics. Only now are problems coming to the fore that were not considered in the referendum and not debated at the time. Oeople did not know the consequences of them and Brexit impact reports are being unacceptably hidden from the people. This is unacceptable and we need a final decision when we know exactly what Brexit means and that means the full terms of an any deal.

Most pieces of homework are thought to take 30 minutes to complete, in reality each piece is at least an hours worth. The new rules mean one student must be given a minimum level of homework, this is averaging 2-3 pieces per night. This is potentially 3 hours of homework per evening. Add this to any clubs or hobbies undertaken and there is little time for socialising, relaxing, enjoying a novel or looking further into the topics that we want to explore. Students are encouraged to do extra-curricular activities such as Duke of Edinburgh awards to enhance college applications but when do we fit this in? School ends later than most others at 1605; the majority of students take the bus and arrive home 1630-1650. This is almost 2 hours after the students at Brookfield Community School in Chesterfield (just 1 example). Something has to give and unfortunately this is the erosion of family life. School say that we can complete some homework within lunch but this is only possible if we have somewhere to study. Library? Full. Computer rooms? Out of bounds. Classrooms? Not open. Since the 2017 minimum homework rules students are saying they are behind in their work for the first time ever, they are stressed and anxious. Finally, the teachers perspective is that they now have 200 books per week to mark and have no choice but to do this in their own time. Teachers are also stressed and anxious and it's all because they are having to set homework they may not feel even supports their lesson. They HAVE to....not WANT to. This petition is not to abolish homework completely, just to return to teachers setting homework THEY feel is supportive and recognising when their pupils are overwhelmed. In fact, doing exactly what they are trained to do.

The funding of £1m was given to this area in 2012 over a 10 year period and one main priority should be education for our children and young people, there has been a great demand for supplementary education but we cannot afford to fund this ourselves. Whilst the funds for this Big Local Area has been inappropriately allocated to pay Big Local Co-ordinator’s salary, run activities and events that attempt to address short term needs of some members of the community to the detriment of Barnfield children education. We therefore solicit that the Barnfield Big Local funding subsequently be allocated in a way that prioritise our children’s education.

- We all feel this is an important group to save as there are not many other groups in Downton. - Some mums that attend the group do not drive so the need to keep this group is vital to some. - As this group is from ages 0-5 it targets a lot of parents. - Groups like this can help Mums and their children to make new friends and grow more confident. - Groups like these can help many people in different ways and we all feel this is a group to be saved for that reason.

As students ourselves, we feel that some children are at a disadvantage with their education. This is because they are not receiving the support they need to learn. It could be down to various reasons, but we feel that giving schools extra funding to tackle this issue, is essential. If we want future generations to help Britain grow, we need to invest now.

So far, almost 20 years payments has barely reduced any loan balance. The 1998 era hasn't been looked at and We were the first to receive loans rather than grants. It is only just and fair that we have the same cap on how many years we are expected to pay the loan for- in line with current student loan proposals.
