Reduce retirement ageIt would give oppertunity to a beleagured younger generation. It would help the mental health of both the younger generation and those between 60 and 65 as they would feel valued. The younger generation are the nation's future and need hope, opportunity and purpose. Earning an income would mean they contribute to the economy. Those at retirement can safeguard their health and have the time to help with child care volunteering etc2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Gill Parnham

Ensure everyone presenting at a Devon A&E in a MH crisis is seenI understand the logic in wanting someone to avoid A&E unless they have co-morbid psychical injury, however people often feel scared, like they have nowhere else to go. If someone reaches somewhere safe like A&E it is absolutely vital that they are seen. It seems morally wrong that this service is now shielded, asking people to phone the First Response call centre even once they have arrived at A&E, to reduce the amount of people being seen. To someone in severe distress, this could be the last straw and make them feel as if they don’t deserve help and that they shouldn’t have reached out. Those in a mental health crisis are highly vulnerable individuals who could be at serious risk of harm, many will not be able to talk on the phone. I have unfortunately had first-hand experience of this new system. Appendix 1.4.1 of this NHS England document from 2016, “Achieving Better Access to 24/7 Urgent and Emergency Mental Health Care”, states “ The evidence-based treatment pathway introduced in this guide requires that people who need urgent and emergency mental health care receive an evidence-based package of care informed by NICE guidance within four hours of presenting in an ED or referral from a ward. • An urgent and emergency liaison mental health service should respond to the person within one hour of receiving a referral. An emergency response consists of a review to decide on the type of assessment needed and arranging appropriate resources for the assessment (see Section 4.2.2) c The NCCMH, a partnership between the Royal College of Psychiatrists and University College London, was one of the national collaborating centres first established by NICE in 2001 to develop clinical guidelines. d Forthcoming on the NICE website. • Within four hours of arriving in an ED or being referred from a ward it is recommended that the person should: • have received a full biopsychosocial assessment, and • have an urgent and emergency mental health care plan in place, and • at a minimum, be en route to their next location if geographically different, or • have been accepted and scheduled for follow-up care by a responding service, or • have been discharged because the crisis has resolved OR • have started a Mental Health Act assessment. ” It’s worth noting that official NHS England advice on nhs.uk, (https://www.nhs.uk/using-the-nhs/nhs-services/mental-health-services/where-to-get-urgent-help-for-mental-health/) remains the same: " Call 999 or go to A&E now if: • someone's life is at risk – for example, they have seriously injured themselves or taken an overdose •you do not feel you can keep yourself or someone else safe A mental health emergency should be taken as seriously as a physical one. You will not be wasting anyone's time. Call: 999 Find your nearest A&E "61 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Nicholas Hayman

Energy costs during the pandemicThe energy companies already make vast profits, this had been massively inflated during the initial lockdown period and continues to do so whine people are working from home. Other sectors are struggling and the government have put together a number of packages to assist businesses yet the energy companies are still raking the money in while people are in distress.58 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Paul Dobson

Paperless Offices45% of office printouts end up in the trash every day! The Environmental Paper Network reports that over the past 50 years, there’s been a four-fold increase in global consumption of paper. Despite the fact, that we live in the era of digitization and have all the tools we need to make paperless offices a real thing, our love affair with paper has continued and there is no sign that this madness will end soon. But it should end now, because that's what the people want: 89% of Gen Zers said they are concerned about the planet’s health, and of this, 94% were of the view that businesses should help address urgent issues. And they are right! Climate change isn't only caused by diesel engines and coal-fired power plants. It's a challenge we all have to face together, both the industry and the people. In 2020, the year COVID-19 forced us to install digital workplaces across the globe, which are here to stay! In fact, BCG’s recent Workplace of the Future employer survey found that companies expect about 40% of their employees to follow a remote-working model in the future. That being said, it is an ideal time to rethink how many unnecessary copies of documents, customer orders, approval forms, and emails are printed each day. Vote for our environment, vote for the trees, and vote for paperless offices now!

Call time on the greedy MPs who voted against free school meals!Children should never be left to go hungry. 4.5 million kids in the UK are living below the breadline, while MPs - having given themselves a pay-rise in March this year - are claiming back meal expenses and even having subsidised drinks in the parliament bar! The Mill Pub in Yorkshire has set the standard - these MPs think they can snatch meals from our kids, well, let's see how they like it when they're banned from every pub in the country!!! It's time for the biggest pub chains in the country to step up and show who's side they're on. If enough of us sign today then we can show these greedy MPs that they can't get away with starving our kids.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Danny McFoot

Link Ministers and MP’s Salary increases to rises in the minimum wagePrevious government has secured a "get out" committee for the setting of their wages that ignores the state of the economy that their Government Ministers and MPs are ultimately responsible for. This has led to MPs salaries way above inflation while they vote against wage increases for others for reasons of affordability. Linking pay in this way is a simple way to use performance related pay to remunerate our leaders. It would hopefully help to bring back some fairness and trust to politics.71 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Neil Dixon
