Free school meals for all pupils in compulsory education in ScotlandWriting as a recently retired Home Economics teacher I strongly believe that we must take urgent action to improve the health of our young people. By providing a free school meal to all pupils will undoubtedly make a huge difference. It now needs to be part of their education. Giving them a taste of real food and encourage healthy eating lifestyle for life. We (teachers) have failed their parents who all too often rely on take aways rather than cooking for family meals. From experience after lunch classes were always a challenge where pupils were lunching on Red Bull and chips. No concentration and little learning took place. At present a free school meal is provided to all pupils in Primary 1, 2,and 3. This has been a great success. It now needs to extended to all. All costs involved could easily be covered by taxing high sugar and energy drinks and sweets. Urgent action is needed if we care about Scotlands future.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rose Baird

Stop Donald Trump from entering ScotlandIt is important that we ban Trump from entering Scotland as we do not wish him to promote his views here and to incite violence and hatred among people in Scotland. We do not have to show respect for a President who behaves in such a manner as Donald Trump who has promoted himself through a campaign of hate. Banning Trump from entering will be Scotland's way of rejecting his views of islamophobia, sexism, racial hatred and violence. This is important because Scotland is a multicultural country where we want to promote equality and justice for all. Please sign the petition. Thank you.103 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Naledi Herman

Young Offenders provision in the HighlandsYoung offenders, both on remand and serving a sentence, are aged 16 to 21. Keeping contact with family and friends is a vital part of rehabilitation into the community. However, for Y O s from the Highlands and Islands the journey to Polmont for their visitors is a long and costly journey and for some families may even be completely unaffordable. There is visiting time every day at Polmont, but if it is not equally accessible to Y O s from both the Central Belt and the Highlands and Islands, this does not seem to me to be fair and equal treatment under the law.69 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Catherine Salter

Stand up to Trump's IslamophobiaTo challenge the anti-Muslim rhetoric and re-inforce all British citizens' rights to travel freely. To highlight that Trump's stated desire to exclude members of one particular religion from entering the US is in contradiction of the First Amendment of the US Constitution.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Bryan Streeter

Save Busy Berries Preschool, Walmley, Sutton Coldfield.Busy Berries is an exceptional facility in a perfect setting with dedicated and caring staff. It provides a high quality, structured learning experience which is geared up to getting our children ready for nursery and school. We would like the Governing Body to take into account the impact it's closure has, not just on the 30 plus children that it will leave uprooted and without any provision in January but the wider impact that it has on the families in the community. The closure of this service will be a terrible loss to families with children at the Deanery with younger siblings and the wider community.509 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Lindsay Cackett

Whole of Ponteland must stay in Hexham Constituency.This proposal would effectively split a Community. We are a rural area and it makes no sense to attach the East Ward to an urban area. We have a hard-working MP, Guy Opperman, who understands rural affairs. This would adversely affect our infrastructure, our social affairs and the education of our children.63 of 100 SignaturesCreated by June Atkinson

Social Care CostsIt is important because it fails to connect with reality. It also means that people delivering the service are expected to do an important job for a low wage and are not seen as an essential resource for keeping people in their own homes. I care about this matter as a retired member of a caring profession (nursing). It is time society at large accepted that caring costs money whether done by highly trained professionals or less qualified individuals.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Maureen Lahiff

Associate EU citizenship for UK nationalsOver 16 million people voted to remain in the EU, and together with a proportion of those who voted leave, strongly wish to retain the cultural benefits and friendship between European nations at an individual level. When Brexit is confirmed, currently all UK citizens will lose their EU citizenship and for me will affect such things as twinning, student exchange, and cultural exchanges.75 of 100 SignaturesCreated by John Page

Save Tower Hamlets Nursery SchoolsNursery Schools in Tower Hamlets and across the country are under threat of closure due to government plans for the future funding of childcare. State nursery schools have very good outcomes with regard to closing the achievement gap and supporting children with special needs. State nursery schools are legally required to employ highly-qualified teaching staff, who are proven to give young children the best opportunities for academic achievement and enabling social mobility.1,205 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Rachel Ellis
