My son is autistic and has sensory processing disorder, as you can imagine visiting shops cafes can be very difficult and stressful for me as a mum and absolutely distressing for my son. But life needs to go on and errands need to be ran. Me and my son have had several incidents where he's been having a meltdown and we've recieved comments from employees about his "behaviour" as a parent its heartbreaking to hear such comments and you end up feeling very isolated. So I have come up with a plan. I would like to educate as many employees in shops, soft play centres ect on the difference between a typical tantrum and an autistic meltdown. I feel this will be beneficial to parents of autistic children and the children themselves to help us cope in a world that's extremely difficult for us to be part of! So I ask you to please sign this petition for all the wonderfully unique children and their parents

thousands of people are homeless everyday if the government took control of the landlords and set a basic rent for 1,2 and 3 bedroom properties no matter of the postcode or location just based on the number of rooms in the property something has to be done there are to many people homeless and struggling to pay their rents!!!!!!

Because young children don't understand why they have so long off from school and because not all parents are able to spend huge amounts of money on days out, most parents work and it costs a fortune for childcare during the 6 weeks.

The current supplier carries no stock and the uniforms supplied are of disappointing, ill fitting poor quality, and the location is not easily accessible

Please take your time and read this all my own research here all to do with the British legal system how it clearly fails ex prisoners like myself 😯. In Britain there are 82,056 prisoners and a total off 59% off them will re offend in the first 12 months😢. There is a total off 150 active prisons in Britain today😮. The government are complaining about the over crowding off them now 9% off these prisoners are in for petty crime shop lifting breach of the peace ect😔 yet there are supposed to be other ways to deal with this community pay back order and so on but these people are receiving custodial sentences what then leads them to be institutionalised that leads to them again re offending🙇. There are no support networks in place to help people in Britain with this that's where re offending comes in to play. You can get help with offending behaviour from sacro if your under the age off 18 only (5%) but if your over the age off reabilitaition the governments own words you don't get the proper support😒. Now what am getting at is that the only way off bringing down the population in prison is to put positive appropriate sensible measures in place and that's having a support network in place 24 hours a day 7 days a week instead off using all the government funds on idiotic projects🙊 a tried my best to get this to make sense for you guys to see what am getting at here so a hope you get my point🙏

To help prevent sexual abuse to our young people.

National governments hold the responsibility to introduce and implement law and policies to protect our fundamental human rights in a cosmopolitan city like London. One of the reasons that acid attacks occur is due to cheap and easy availability of acid in the UK. The state has a due diligence obligation to prevent acid violence on our streets by enforcing tighter regulation of acid sales as well as enacting criminal laws to punish perpetrators. Prevention should start at schools by educating and working with youth to promote respectful relationships and gender equality. Research helps us to understand the causes and effects of acid violence to identify practical and feasible solutions to prevent such attacks whilst taking account of the impact this has on our trade and economy as a whole. We are asking for change in policies and laws that strike a fair and reasonable balance to protect the public whilst being considerate of the rights and duties of our traders, but ultimately our core aim is to punish the perpetrators of this callous act and promote a zero tolerance policy.

Shine offer professional coaching in a variety of sports that children may not be able to access ordinarily. The coaches provide positive role models that children are very comfortable with and they offer an alternative to parents and teachers in this respect in children's lives. They make engaging in physical exercise fun and achievable for all. The school believe that an internal coach facilitating sport through class teachers offers an effective, cost cutting solution in times of educational economic austerity. However we believe that the move will be to the detriment of our children's enthusiasm for sport, that they will be less active overall as they will not be as encouraged to join in physical activities outside of school, the range of different sporting activities available to them will decrease and the level of sporting prowess that many of the children currently possess (as demonstrated by St Ursula's achievements in inter-school matches and tournaments) will decline. In a world that promotes physical exercise as healthy this move suggests that E-Act do not hold physical educational as important as other aspects of the curriculum. Whilst the parents understand the need for the school to future-proof against the closure of the community hall and therefore the loss of Shine from the neighbouring building, the parents have long understood (as promoted by the school themselves in previous academic years) that Shine would operate from within the new school. The possible community hall closure has not yet been decided upon and even if that were to happen Shine would be on-site to continue their activities if what parents were previously led to believe is correct. Many parents selected St Ursula's as their child's primary school because of the close association between the school and Shine. E-Act are correct when they say that E-Act and Shine are two separate business organisations. However E-Act have, as recently as the autumn of 2016, used the association that exist between the two to promote their school. Many parents, on hearing that Shine will not be teaching PE to at least one key stage, feel that they have been mis-sold the school.

Current Government policy on pensions provision is based on the assumption that one third of one's life post starting work will be spent in retirement. The ability of retirees' ability 'to retain our intellectual, cultural and social capital' (Hartman, 2009) is compromised by the reluctance of university libraries to allow retired staff access away from university sites to e journals (see Paul Armstrong, Univ leeds, conference paper, undated but after 2011). This issue of the the defenestration of retired academics was given prominence by an influential survey of Retirees' views by Barbara Tizard widely reported in 2000-04. Access to journal articles by a substantial proportion of the UK population is severely limited, especially by those who cannot afford the exhorbitant rate of downloading one-off articles. The problem is writ large in terms of equity worldwide. Whilst most UK research councils (for example MRC, Welcome) now require publishing in open access journals and open access is on the increase, many journals still do not have an open access policy. The cost of such a policy should be born by a charge to institutions for publication in turn funded by research grant funding enhancements. The contribution of substantial expertise and dedication amongst academic and other retirees in particular is being compromised by this short sighted policy. (note: all these references can easily be obtained in a Google search by entering Barbara Tizard retirees)

Students are low income people and most of the money from student finance is to pay for things they actually need to pass their course , Books, Equipment , it also pays for research subjects Student finance should not be considered as income by councils when assessing Housing Benefit If HMRC dont consider it taxable income why do other depts consider it as income

It has been announced there is a worrying shortage of Doctors and Nurses to ensure the NHS can continue to operate. Currently we are bringing people from overseas but failing to encourage our own to study Medicine. The cost of going to University is a big ask of anyone thinking of taking up a career that will not reap rewards for many years. For Nurses it is even harder as they will not get to be in the higher paid salary bands of top Surgeons. In return all students must commit once qualified to a minimum of 5 years working within the NHS. This ensures the taxpayers investment in their careers has a satisfactory return and we all see a properly staffed NHS for the future.
