  • ALL DIABETIC NURSES TO BE DAFNE TRAINED
    Hello my name is tony Pearson i am creating this petition for diabetes as my partner is currently on a dafne course and has learned so much about managing and controlling her diabetes. Which to me is terrible because her usual meetings with her diabetic nurse appointments on 3-4 monthly meetings don't disclose the knowledge she could gain from a diabetic nurse who is dafne trained who could then show my partner a better way of learning how her own body works with blood sugar levels . So my petition is to ensure that the NHS gets the funding to train all diabetic nurses to be DAFNE trained instead of plowing millions of pounds into building submarines that just sit in a harbour gaining rust to apparently protect us from threat. From who ? Thank you for reading.

  • videos of children being bullied illegal
    The suicide rate of young children is astonishing. Young vulnerable children are being exploited by bullies posting videos of their attacks on social media for all to share and see. Not only have they endured the horrific attacks physically but now they have to live with it spread all across the internet. This is humiliating and traumatic for any human being. As the world of social media has grown, the act of bullying has branched, we need to do something about this.

  • Give York Back to the Pedestrians
    York is a medieval city with narrow streets, ancient buildings and lots of tourists. Moving around parts of the city during the day can be difficult and dangerous, especially for those with limited mobility. There is constant traffic in parts of the city where there need not be, car users taking advantage of their privilege with no thought to the safety or rights of others. I believe that removing cars from York city centre would be beneficial to tourism, as it would make moving around the city easier. Additionally, heavy goods vehicles have done damage to a number of ancient buildings on Stonegate and Gillygate. Goods vehicles should be restricted to those of an appropriate size for the narrow nature of the streets in the ancient part of the city. The rights of a few car-users are currently trumping the rights of the majority of York residents. Polluting our air, crowding the city and causing danger to residents and tourists alike. Pedestrianisation will encourage the use of public transport and bicycles to access the city, thus improving the air quality in and around York and working towards a more sustainable future. Improving pedestrian and cycle access from residential areas to the city will further improve accessibility for those without the privilege of their own car. There are many ancient cities in Europe that are either partly or fully pedestrianised, without a significant impact on tourism or business. Make York an example to the rest of the United Kingdom for preserving the heritage of our ancient cities.

  • Keep IVF treatment on the NHS in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough
    IVF is an amazing treatment that allows couples who have exhausted all other avenues a chance at conceiving their own child. Currently, despite the National Institute for Clinical Excellence recommending 3 cycles of treatment funded by the NHS, only one shot is allowed to couples here. Now the local clinical commissioning group are proposing to end this entirely. I know several women who have successfully conceived thanks to IVF funded by the NHS. One of them told me; 'I know firsthand how utterly devastating it can be to find you are unable to conceive naturally. The years my partner and I spent fruitlessly trying for a baby were beyond comparison the most difficult experience I have been through. I can’t express the relief when we were finally referred for fertility treatment on the NHS, or the joy when it worked. Fertility is a health issue and the NHS exists to look after everyone’s health. Treatment for infertility shouldn’t be something that’s only available to those who can afford to pay for it.” Imagine this opportunity being denied to people who cannot afford expensive private treatment? The proposals will save the regional NHS £700,000. A very small amount of money when you compare the figure to the £17.6m the NHS has been forced to spend on private management consultants to draw up new 'transformation' plans demanded by the government. We must not allow this option for couples to be ended. Please sign, share and ask your friends to sign, so that we can show that the people of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough will not accept this miserable proposal going any further.

  • Save Gladstone Terrace
    For the last 30 years, several community-based charities have been able to operate at Gladstone Terrace Community Centre. Four of them are currently based there. This allows us to provide much-needed and valued services: for example, we run a youth assembly, a crèche and a support service for young mothers. Over the years we have won awards for our services and have helped countless people. However, a couple of weeks ago we received a notice to quit the building. Following public pressure, the notice has been put on hold – for now. But the Council could change their mind any day and kick us out with immediate effect. This could happen despite our efforts: we’ve been paying rent for years, we’ve got a loan to buy the building and have made an offer. But the offer has been ignored. Our offer should be considered and accepted: after all we have strong links with the community and if we are to continue delivering our many important services, it is vital that we continue to operate from Gladstone Terrace which is a central and easily accessible location to the families and young people we serve.

  • Quality doesn't grow on fees
    In light of recent events surrounding the HE Bill (outlined below) we, the students of the University of Portsmouth, strongly urge you to listen and act upon our collective opinion. The student body is in full support of the amendments made by the House of Lords as we fundamentally disagree with the link between tuition fees and the Teaching Excellence Framework. As the MP for Portsmouth South, the largest student constituency in the city, we strongly urge you to listen to and act upon our request to oppose further increases in University tuition fees at every available opportunity. Since its introduction, the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) has been controversial at every discussion point. The TEF looks to grade HE institutions Bronze, Silver, or Gold. Currently, those institutions deemed excellent by the framework will be allowed to raise their tuition fees in line with inflation. Gold and Silver grades can raise fees at 100% of inflation, and Bronze at 50% of inflation. The consistent rise in tuition fees itself is a barrier to education, and the ranking system fallible to inaccuracies. The House of Lords has made the following proposed amendments to the Bill: To cut the link between the Teaching Excellence Framework and inflationary rises in tuition fees To also cut the link between international student recruitment and the institution's performance in a new Teaching Excellence Framework. We don’t believe it is right to put a premium on excellent education; it should be excellent for everyone. We believe the link between tuition fees, or any potential link between international student recruitment, and teaching excellence should remain removed. We thoroughly agree with the amendments suggested by the House of Lords to ensure that students are not priced out of their education, and all potential students have the ability to access high quality education, regardless of their background. For the benefit of the University of Portsmouth student body, and specifically your student constituents, we urge you to support and vote in favour of the amendments as recommended by the House of Lords at all available opportunities; specifically removing the link between quality and the TEF and tuition fees. We look forward to hearing that you have voted in favour of the amendments. Sincerely, Oludolapo Bolaji, Vice-President Education & Democracy James Belmonte, Union President
