Universal Credit Helpline should be FREEPeople in receipt of benefits are generally, by their very nature of having to claim a benefit, in a vulnerable financial situation. The changes to the benefit system as JCP centres roll out the Universal Benefit programme is causing considerable and maybe severe financial disruption for some of our most vulnerable members of society. These persons SHOULD NOT HAVE TO FINANCE the rollout by having to pay 55p p/min to make a call with a query they have about the changes that are affecting the fabric of their lives. Many people end up on hold - AT 55P PER MINUTE! It is immoral to charge people to use this helpline.90 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Helen Price

Freephone numbers at benefit officesBenefits claimants cannot afford these charges. This means that if their maney is late they are unable to ring DWP. Elizabeth Truss MP suggests claimants should go to their Job Centres, but in most rural and in some citys, Job Centres have closed or are soon to be closed. Those on benefits need support, not a government intent on making their lives harder. Stop these over-inflated phone charges now!25 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jaqui Barnes-Monaghan

Downton Little Learners- 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.48 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kerry Hirst

Families should be CRB checked tooIt’s important that families get crb checked too. Too many nannies are verbally and physically abused by families some cases even resulting in murder. It’s important to feel your Children are safe but it’s also important for those whom are caring for your children to feel safe too. Just last week we heard of another case where a nanny was murdered by the parents of the child she was caring for. This cannot happen again. I feel families should be checked too and if you feel the same sign this petition and let’s get the ball rolling.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Natasha Savill

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.319 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Christopher Forbes

Put a domestic abuse/violence lead in every workplace in the UKFigures in 2011 showed that here in the UK £1.8bn is lost in economic output, since then grants have been cut, refuges have been closed and Domestic Violence has increased. People suffer in silence because they are so ashamed of their situations, those lucky enough to have a job are often too scared to disclose because they fear losing something that is possibly the only constant thing in their lives.99 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jacqui Kershaw

Unlimited attempts to take Literacy and Numeracy Skills Test for PGCE Teacher Training CoursesIf you cannot pass the tests in your third attempt, like me, then this holds you back from becoming an outstanding teacher. 2 years is a lot of time and it holds students back from wanting to teach because if you cannot pass after 2 years then you have to wait for another 2 years. I would like unlimited chances to pass Literacy and numeracy skills test to be put back to action because the government is loosing so many highly skilled student teachers as they are unable to pass their qts tests. I am sure most PGCE students would agree with this.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Emine Aladag
