• Abolish School Exclusions in the UK
    In the UK we exclude around 8,000(APX) pupils each year We are 3x times more likely to exclude Black Caribbean Pupils SEND students are also hard hit In 2011 the Government changed the way in which schools were held to account for the permanent exclusions they decided to issue. The Independent Review Panel (the only Independent part of the school exclusions appeal process) could no longer allow (reinstate) a pupil to return back to the school if they deem the exclusion to have been wrong. The removal of such a vital safeguard to protect young people from putative and discriminatory sanction used by Headteachers across the UK- allowed for a steady normalisation of the exclusion figures of children to loom at around 7,800 each year. We believe this should not be the norm. In Scotland, last year they only permanently excluded 3 pupils. The Government’s disregard for the outcomes of young people has led to this community coalition demanding the complete removal of the ability to exclude children from schools. The Secretary of State is failing its international Human rights obligations of ensuring non- discrimination, and its obligations under the International Convention on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. .

  • Make it mandatory for taxi drivers to wear a mask
    A taxi is an enclosed space and passengers can be on long journeys with the taxi driver and should therefore wear a mask. My daughter travels in a taxi for 3 hours a day with no social distancing and the driver is not wearing a mask. This needs to change

  • Children under 11 should be searched for within 3 hours of being reported missing
    A young girl was missing for 18 years before she was found. She was held in a shed in the garden of her kidnappers home, raped and abused by himself and his wife resulting in two daughters. Eighteen years. Eighteen years of abuse. Eighteen years of rape. Eighteen years. This petition is important to me because children will forever be a part of this world and they should be protected because without them there is no future.

  • Loosen Gender Recognition Requirements
    Many trans and non-binary people do not necessarily feel gender dysphoria to a strong enough degree or in a typical manner that would lead to a diagnosis. In addition, it should be an inherent right of all people to identify personally and legally as the gender that makes them the most comfortable without a rigorous, extended, and invasive investigation into their own experience of gender.

  • We need a urgent treatment centre in Bordon
    Chase Hospital has insufficient services for a expanding community. The former ward has been left , when it could be used to serve the local community as a urgent treatment centre. Closest A&E is around 30 minutes away and is under much strain . And the local MIU are restricted to what they can do . We need to safeguard our community & major hospitals.

  • No Mask, No Service
    I have, over the last number of weeks and months, seen countless people ignoring wearing a mask when shopping. Even the stores say it isn't mandatory.. so they simply aren't. MANY of us are following the rules, these are spurring the new wave of infection. Make it law, No Mask, No Service unless proven to be exempt via a lanyard or similar.

  • Protest against the closure of Richmond Road Hackney
    I understand the situation with trying to make a greener borough and as a cyclist myself I have no problem with limiting roads around schools. However unless you provide an alternative route for the weight of traffic needed all you do is concentrate that traffic into a smaller area which creates terrible traffic jams and terrible amounts of pollution. I have been a resident of Graham Road for over 15 years, I now have a daughter who has severe asthma living in a house constantly filled with trucks idly sitting outside the house 24/7 in traffic since these road closures have been implemented. We must stop these changes immediately before irreparable damage is done to the area around Graham Road and the surrounding areas! We were not consulted about these changes that will dramatically change our lives. Please sign my protest.
