Make it statutory guidance not to remove break-times for neurodivergent children - 49,399 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 49,490 - 82 added in the past 24hrs)

We feel that neurodivergent children (especially children with hyperactive/impulsive or combined ADHD) need movement to help regulate their brains. We think we need to stop punishing neurodivergent children in schools by removing access to outdoor play and movement opportunities.

The Government responsed to this petition on 25th September 2025 (View Full Response)
It is for school leaders to implement a behaviour policy that works for their school. We will back headteachers to deliver high standards of behaviour within an inclusive mainstream schools system.

Withdraw the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill immediately - 19,901 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 39,914 - 231 added in the past 24hrs)

Government to withdraw the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill immediately, because it downgrades education for all children, undermines educators and parents. We think it will cause harm to children, with their details being digitally stored for anyone to use without permission.

The Government responsed to this petition on 4th February 2026 (View Full Response)
The Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill delivers on manifesto promises and will make progress towards the Opportunity Mission to break the link between young people’s background and future success.

Commission independent inquiry into delays in SEND education provision - 34,805 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 39,375 - 95 added in the past 24hrs)

Many children with SEND are being failed. Some families can wait months or even years for support, leaving children without the education they are legally entitled to and causing long-term harm.

The Government responsed to this petition on 22nd January 2026 (View Full Response)
The government will work to ensure children with SEND get a high-quality education. The SEND National Conversation, Select Committee reports and Schools White Paper consultation will inform reforms.

Make it an offence to carry a catapult in public without lawful defence - 37,722 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 38,878 - 15 added in the past 24hrs)

Change the law so catapult possession in public is an offence. Currently, police must prove intent or use to cause harm. We propose it becomes an absolute offence, like air rifles, without lawful defence. Rising attacks on people, animals, and wildlife show stronger powers are needed.

The Government responsed to this petition on 16th December 2025 (View Full Response)
There are laws that can already be used against individuals who use catapults as a weapon, but the Government understands the concerns and is actively looking at this issue.
