We call on the Government to make arrangements for a resentencing all on IPP sentences, to fixed-term sentences with clear release dates. It must end indefinite licence periods for all, and reform the threshold for recall so only those who have reoffended or who present a serious risk are recalled.
Children of sex offenders/domestic abusers to change name w/out parental consent

(Estimated Final Signatures: 192 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
I want children of sex offenders or domestic abusers to have the ability to change their name even if they are under 16. This is to prevent them from being identified as the child of a sex offender, as they may be viewed differently in social settings.
Review conditions for parental rights to be removed
- 119 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 121 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
I want the grounds in which parental responsibility can be removed to change.
Some children may be exposed to numerous disturbing things due to a parent and are highly traumatised due to this. I think it's wrong that this is only possible after something like murder for this to actually happen.

We ask the Government to review and strengthen laws so that when young people repeatedly carry weapons or commit violent crimes, and parents fail to act, there are appropriate consequences for parents such as penalties or mandatory interventions to help prevent further harm and protect communities.

The Equality Act 2010 still contains exemptions that can permit sex-based restrictions in some appointments for the purposes of an organised religion. We ask Parliament to amend the law so that no religion operating in the UK may bar women from clerical or leadership roles.
Introduce new offence for murder, dismemberment and concealment
- 54 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 54 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
There is currently no specific crime for a murder where the perpetrator has also dismembered and concealed the body. We think such an offence should be introduced with a mandatory life sentence with a minimum tariff of 40 years before eligible for parole. This should be known as Chantel’s Law.
