Sex education can teach respectful attitudes and values - including consent and communication skills, help pupils be more informed about violence and exploitation and explore sex as a regular fact of life. Significantly in our changing world, sex education can help pupils understand on- and offline safety. From an increasingly young age, children are accessing disturbing and abusive sexual imagery online. However hard parents try to put the right controls in place, they need a helping hand from schools. Numerous polls have found there's overwhelming parental support for compulsory sex education. Sex and relationship education won’t stop abusers preying on children. It won’t stop pre-pubescent boys watching hardcore porn. But it might help children become more ready for the world: by helping them to keep themselves safe online and off-, to be able to put inappropriate material in context, and to have a fair crack at understanding sex and relationships (to the extent that any of us do).

There are a lot of MIND Service Users who have been seriously affected by reduced services, leaving them vulnerable and less able to cope

Kingsley Road runs alongside two primary schools and is used by pedestrians, cyclists, cars and buses. After much campaigning by Kingsley Community Primary School, a zebra crossing has been added to the road, however many cars still speed through it and ignore pedestrians crossing the road. In order to make the road safer for all road users, we the undersigned propose reducing the speed limit to 20mph and enforcing it with a speed camera. Residents who live on Kingsley Road have reported that it is difficult to reverse out of their driveways currently, as other cars drive past so fast. A child from Kingsley School has been involved in an incident on the road. Many parents with children at the schools are in favour of reducing the speed limit, as are local residents. There is no need for this road to have a 30mph speed limit. A driver driving at 20mph is far less likely to be involved in a road collision than one driving at 30mph.

The Government has already committed to an additional 5,000 new GPs by 2020 but is not enabling this to happen: it takes 6 years to train a Medical Student and there is currently a severe shortage: practices cannot recruit due to crisis of supply. Meanwhile the UK's population is increasing daily with economic migrants and refugees & our infrastructure is failing. We have an over reliance on overseas Medical Students and urgently need to increase our intake of UK Medical Students to Universities by extending their intake now.

Currently complementary therapies are available to those suffering from life threatening and terminal illnesses and their carer's. It must be a retrograde step to deny support in any form to anyone coping with difficult health issues. NICE would like to exclude in 2018 this care. As a person who has had cancer I can assure everyone that the complementary therapies I received helped enormously. Surely people deserve treatments that benefit their well being in their hour of need. So please sign to let NICE know that we do not want complementary therapies to be downgraded.

George Osborne has announced plans to take £70 a week away from thousands of people with disabilities, by cutting Personal Independence Payments (PIP). For many of us, this will mean losing the crucial support which enables us to get out of the house. Many people in our area would be hit hard by this cut. This petition calls on our local MP to do all they can to stop this cruel and unfair plan. Please, show your support for local people with disabilities and help stop the cuts to PIP.

I get really annoyed with industries that add water to food. It seems to me it is only beneficial to the manufacturer in that weight adds to the price of food, also water does not add to the flavour of food either, it detracts what we taste from it. ie bacon and chicken have less flavour, horrible white bits float around when cooking bacon, etc. Why should I have to pay more money for meat without water, when water I feel should not be added in the first place. It makes no sense, and is of no benefit to the consumer.

My wife had a double lung transplant in April 2014 as she was born with Cystic Fibrosis and had months to live without such an a gift of life. Since Summer 2014 we and local residents have been fighting plans to build another 25 houses around our property on old allotments ground. The applications are flawed in many ways and have objections from County Highways Authority. Due to Highways objections it also proposes changes to our property by taking a small proportion of our land and changing our parking from the front to the rear which we have already refused when offered. None of the legalities have been addressed by the applicants, despite repeated requests. Whilst we consider the application to be invalid due to lack of legalities and missing/inaccurate information the Planning Case Officer sees no merit in refusing permission, suggesting it is not invalid! We have now been stuck in a position for nearly two years where our future is being held by many other parties and not ourselves. We cannot even market our property should we wish to due to the lack of legal agreements. In the meantime during 2015 a nearby site of 85 houses has had a serious effect on her health with the huge amounts of dust contributing to her contracting Aspergillosis and losing over 30% of her new donor lungs!

To make it possible for people to enjoy their work and leisure time at home in relative peace without the deafening cacophony of an endless stream of power tools. The professional gardeners using these items tend to wear ear defenders which goes to show what a racket they make. I have personally had to abandon a weekend barbecue with friends as we could not hear each other speak due to the use of 3 power tools at once by the next door neighbours gardeners for over an hour. Surely this breaches noise pollution levels?
