Legally recognise ADUK Dogs as Carers for Direct PaymentsThese are amazing carers who maintain and promote independence for people who have various and complex care and social needs. Our assistance dogs care for us 24/7 who should be legally recognised by the government and save the government millions a year in care charges. The government needs to offer people the right to be able to claim for these costs to be able to keep us independent and motivated and socialised within the community. The average homecare cost is £200 per week the average cost of an ADUK is about £50 per week. Some more progressive councils allow for these amazing carers to be honoured and covered by a direct payment, whilst other councils take the guideline discriptor of carer ( meaning human ) as literal- this should be addressed to show the change since it was written. It will also help with the crisis in the health and social care situation.317 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Christopher Forbes

Have a Limit on Standing for WorkersStanding for long periods of time at work can cause many health problems, including pain in many areas of the body (such as the back, legs and hips) as well as varicose veins, problems during pregnancy, heart and circulation issues and more. This does not even begin to cover the issues people with existing health conditions may face. More than eleven million workers in the UK are standing for a prolonged period of time, risking their health and unable to take the weight off of their feet.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by M Laing

Ban dogs from the playing field (next to the school) - ChudleighThe green space next to Fore Street Play Park is used by school children throughout the day as well as for recreational use outside of school hours. But the dog mess left on the grass is a constant problem despite it being an area regularly patrolled by the Dog Warden and covered by CCTV. Unfortunately bins and notices fail to make any difference - the people who allow this to happen, do not care. Dog mess carries incredibly toxic bacteria which among other things can cause blindness. To have this space dog free would allow children to play freely without the constant worry of stepping in/falling in dog mess. There are many places dog owners can go to exercise their dogs without using this space. It would not be detrimental to the town, considering the fact that Chudleigh is surrounded by green space, all within a few minutes walk from any where in the town.62 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Chudleigh Mum

Introduce bus service from Dundee to Stratheden HospitalHundreds of students (nursing, medical and allied health professions) are placed at this hospital a year from Dundee University, Dundee & Angus College and Abertay University (and the surrounding area) and using public transport can take up to two hours to get there and back even though it is only a 30/40 minute journey. Its not only students who would benefit from this, stratheden has staff, visitors and patients who would find this bus route useful. At present, anyone getting to Stratheden Hospital via public transport has to get a bus from the hospital into the town centre of Cupar (which only runs once an hour so you often have to resort to a taxi) and then wait to get either a train into Dundee or another bus. The hospital itself plays a big role in mental health care within NHS Scotland but is currently facing a staffing shortage and from personal experience I believe this has a lot to do with how unaccessible the hospital and as many of you may know, staffing & student shortages leads to poor care delivery. I urge anyone who works at the hospital, is a student and understands the struggles of travelling to placement, someone who understands how important good staffing levels within the NHS are or just anyone who wants to support the cause to please sign this petition. Thank you.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by J H

Return Student Nurses Bursary NowStudent nurses are finding it impossible to do over 60 hours to make up for lost Nurses Bursary to ensure they never come out of education with a debt over their shoulders or a shadow over their family members. As a result student nurses are dropping out and potential students are discouraged to enter into nursing while a lot of nurses are retiring in thousands. Patient safety is getting out of hand.25 of 100 SignaturesCreated by DAVID TABANE

Personality Disorder EqualityPersonality disorders are often dismissed as behavioural problems that simply put pressure on to the NHS and cause professional people problems. The truth in fact, is that they are not a choice, they are very real illnesses that often see some of societies most vulnerable people shunned, discriminated against, fall into the criminal justice system, and ultimately lose their lives. There are many media stories in circulation around personality disorder patients, being denied treatment, losing their lives and being denied basic human rights. This is wrong in one of the wealthiest and developed countries in the world. We need change. We need a voice. We need compulsory training for all frontline, primary, secondary and tertiary service staff.205 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Victoria Threlkeld

Get rid of the tampon taxA woman doesn't get to choose whether she has a period or not and it's certainly not enjoyable. Why are they classed as a luxury if you can't choose whether or not you want to use them.17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jenny Godwin

Ban social media from under 16 year oldsTo safeguard all children who fall into this catergory. Open and free access to social media of this age group is opening up access to paedophiles and is currently leading to vile and sickening acts being carried out by these sick people. We need to put a stop to this now before more children fall victim and have their lives ruined. The world will then lose the ability to have real time interaction with real children which is what needs to be done.151 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Lucy Fletcher

Vote for cannabis legalisationThis is important as it is in our right to be able to do with our bodies as we choose, as it stands the government seem to believe that us people can be treated like children told what we can or can't do with our bodies, we should have right to make that decision for ourselves, not told it is for our own good, drinking is much more harmful than any strain of cannabis in existence yet that is legal. I'm not saying all drugs should be legal but I do suggest there should be a choice for all minimum risk drugs such as cannabis, atleast this way us as the people of UK we can make our own mind up as to whether we think we should be able to have cannabis for our own use rather than a room full of people who are not part of the public, who destroy people's lives over this drug. Give us a choice, the government are supposed to support there people not oppose them.51 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Andrew Brannan
