Social Media age limit raised with online checksHow important is your child’s well-being and mental health?? Upon watching /the social dilemma on Netflix (which I highly recommend) statistics show how mental health issues in children and young people have risen significantly since social media sites such as Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat & Twitter etc have entered our lives. We don’t let our children drink alcohol until the age of 18 as it is bad for their Health and can compromise their decisions yet we let our 13 year olds roam on social media sometimes with no time limits and no control over what they are doing, watching, speaking too or being influenced by. Things are leading to poor self esteem, anxiety, mood swings, tiredness, bullying, depression and more severely self harm and even suicide. Things need to change drastically now, let’s raise the age for all social media sites to 16 with online photo checks (as they do for alcohol, electric cigarettes etc) and help this generation have a brighter happy future. Please forward and share to all you know xx9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Joanna Smith

Make sure no child in the UK goes hungryThe coronavirus pandemic will dramatically increase unemployment and poverty. Many people are already struggling to put food on the table and this is only going to get worse. The government needs to act fast to stop children in the UK going hungry. A lack of nutrition at an early age can cause huge problems later on in life and stops children from being able to concentrate at school. One of the solutions recommended by the national food strategy is to expand free school meals and holiday hunger schemes from children for all households on universal credit. It’s a simple way to help ensure children across the UK are getting enough food to eat.109,858 of 200,000 SignaturesCreated by Jessica Khan

Continued support for clinically vulnerable and their householdsThe government made a decision at the beginning of the lockdown to stop ICU and funeral homes being overwhelmed by asking the most vulnerable to shield themselves from catching the disease, and offering them support to do so. Now that the prevalence of Covid-19 is lower in the UK, it is less likely that people out and about will catch it, so even if those who are considered likely to become seriously ill or die should catch COVID-19, the numbers in ICU or dying will not be so great as to overwhelm the capacity in NHS or funeral homes. The government has therefore Made the decision to say that the vulnerable will no longer be advised to shield themselves from 1/8. This doesn’t mean that these people are no longer at risk if they do catch the disease, just that as fewer people in the population are infectious, they are less likely to come into contact with them and catch the disease. Those who will probably die if they catch the virus will lose government support to continue to shield themselves beyond 1/8, that’s fine if they don’t don’t need government support, so the wealthier will be OK. What about those who could catch the disease when they go back to work (no further government support to stay off work - SSP For shielding to end), what about those who could catch the disease out shopping (if they can’t afford to pay extra for delivery), what about those who could catch the disease at the job centre (unemployed people must attend to continue to receive benefits)? Obviously the government must continue to open the economy so that those who are at little risk can return to something like normal, but this should not be at the expense of the Most vulnerable people - those living with serious medical conditions, who are also very poor! The government should continue to offer financial support to poorer people who are at high risk of dying if they catch the illness, if they and their family decide that they wish to continue to shield until there is a cure or vaccine for COVID-19.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rachel Reeve

Elderly Care Home Residents Left Stranded Without FamilyMany elderly people are confined to their rooms and in some cases bed-bound. Despite the best efforts of care home staff, they are heavily reliant on meeting family members to maintain a reasonable quality of life and mental well-being. The families of care home residents also experience great stress through not being able to see elderly relatives. Recent research has established that elderly people deprived of visits by family and friends will deteriorate both mentally and physically.445 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Lynne Walmsley

Don't bring back benefit sanctions!Imagine arriving to work five minutes late and having your pay docked. For anyone who depends on benefits, it only takes missing the bus to the JobCentre to be given a sanction and lose payments. With the UK economy going to be hit hard with job loses in the thousands, we cannot let benefit claimants have their money stopped or cut. During the height of the coronavirus crisis, there were no sanctions. The government stopped them for 3 months. We know that the benefits system can function without sanctioning people. But benefit sanctions are set to return in England. Huge public backlash could force the government to rethink their decision, and stop the unfair and cruel sanctions for good.77,984 of 100,000 SignaturesCreated by Hugh Mccourt

Stop Reintroduction of Benefit Sanctions during the Covid-19 crisisit is totally and utterly callous to penalise the poorest and most vulnerable people who have claimed Benefits through no fault on their own and especially with the UK economy going to be hit hard with job loses in the thousand but still expect benefit claimants to look for work and if they don't then have their money stopped or cut.20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Hugh Mccourt

Ensure rough sleepers don’t return to the streetsRough sleepers across the country could be about to be forced back onto the streets. With day and night shelters still closed because they’re simply not safe, and the Hotels for the Homeless scheme ending, there’s simply nowhere for hundreds of people to go. The coronavirus pandemic is far from over. With some schemes coming to an end, the government must take urgent action to ensure alternative housing and shelter is put in place for homeless people so everyone can be kept safe, not just those who qualify for benefits. For many vulnerable adults who are homeless, this could be the difference between life and death. So, if you think everyone deserves a safe roof over their head, sign the petition for the government to ensure no rough sleepers are pushed back onto the streets.16,124 of 20,000 Signatures
