Open Petition since 4th June 2025

Reduce the school week to four days a week - 124,182 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 127,604 - 80 added in the past 24hrs)

We urge the Government to require all schools to reduce the school week to four instead of five days by making each school day one hour longer whilst requiring the school week to be four instead of five days.

The Government responsed to this petition on 10th October 2025 (View Full Response)
The government has no plans to reduce the school week to four days. Regular attendance at school is vital for children’s education, well-being and long-term development as well as parental employment.
Open Petition since 4th September 2025

Reduce the maximum noise level for consumer fireworks from 120 to 90 decibels - 37,843 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 115,310 - 4,157 added in the past 24hrs)

We think each year, individuals suffer because of loud fireworks. We believe horses, dogs, cats, livestock and wildlife can be terrified by noisy fireworks and many people find them intolerable.


Open Petition since 23rd May 2025

Protect Legal Migrants: do not implement the 10-Year ILR proposal - 103,878 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 112,743 - 279 added in the past 24hrs)

We urge the UK Government to scrap plans to extend ILR from 5 to 10 years. We feel that legal migrants, especially care workers, followed the rules and built lives here under the 5-year promise. We think they support vital services and deserve fairness, not shifting rules.


Open Petition since 25th June 2025

Keep 5-year ILR terms to Hong Kong British National (Overseas) visas - 108,756 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 108,993 - 6 added in the past 24hrs)

1. Five years of UK residency

3. Passing the Life in the UK Test

We are firmly committed to the existing Hong Kong community in the UK and all those who will arrive in future. Further details of measures in the Immigration White Paper will be set out in due course.
Open Petition since 18th June 2025

Support newly qualified nurses: Review barriers to NHS jobs - 88,566 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 89,531 - 17 added in the past 24hrs)

Newly qualified nurses report struggling to get NHS jobs due to internal-only adverts and experience requirements. The NHS is short-staffed, but we feel new nurses are blocked from helping. We want a review on access to Band 5 roles and improvements to support into practice.

The Government responsed to this petition on 21st July 2025 (View Full Response)
While recruitment decisions are a matter for individual employers, NHS England is working with employers, universities and nursing leads to support graduates to find roles as soon as possible.
Open Petition since 29th July 2025

Introduce Statutory Menstrual Leave for People with Endometriosis & Adenomyosis - 69,889 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 78,214 - 156 added in the past 24hrs)

We call on the UK Government to introduce statutory paid menstrual leave of up to 3 days per month for people with conditions such as endometriosis and adenomyosis, following the model introduced in Portugal in 2025.

The Government responsed to this petition on 20th August 2025 (View Full Response)
The Government has no plans to introduce menstrual leave for those with endometriosis or adenomyosis. We know the hardship they cause. Our employment rights reforms will help manage health at work.
Open Petition since 9th May 2025

Grant the vote for London Mayor to all UK Residents - 70,185 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 71,127 - 53 added in the past 24hrs)

Only people who live in Greater London are allowed to vote for candidates in the Mayoral elections. We think London carries so much influence across the globe and the majority of UK residents have no say as to who 'heads up' and manages our great city, and we should. London belongs to us all.

The Government responsed to this petition on 22nd May 2025 (View Full Response)
The Government has no plans to extend voting rights for the London Mayor elections to all UK residents.
Open Petition since 2nd May 2025

Prohibit the wearing of all full-face coverings in public spaces - 63,462 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 65,606 - 325 added in the past 24hrs)

We call on the Government to prohibit full-face coverings in public, including niqabs, burqas, balaclavas and ski masks, to strengthen social cohesion, preserve cultural values, enhance security and promote gender equality. We believe this will ensure fairness, safety and a more unified Britain.

The Government responsed to this petition on 30th June 2025 (View Full Response)
It is not government policy to ban the burka or other face coverings in public.
Open Petition since 1st October 2025

Introduce a Pension Tax Lock to help protect retirement savings and incentives - 18,391 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 60,181 - 260 added in the past 24hrs)

The Chancellor should introduce a Pension Tax Lock: a commitment not to reduce the amount people can withdraw from their pension tax-free or the amount of tax relief given on pension contributions. We believe this would help ensure retirement savings are protected and people can save with confidence


Open Petition since 12th September 2025

The UK Government should not unilaterally recognise a Palestinian State - 55,877 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 57,989 - 15 added in the past 24hrs)

We urge the UK not to unilaterally recognise a Palestinian state before a negotiated peace. We believe the UK should support direct talks, conditioned on Hamas releasing hostages, disarming, & leaving Gaza; & the PA ending ‘Pay to Slay’, removing extremist content from schools, & recognising Israel.

The Government responsed to this petition on 16th October 2025 (View Full Response)
Our recognition of Palestinian statehood, done as part of a wider global drive for peace, is helping to deliver the opposite of the petition’s concerns, showing why it was the right decision to make.
