Automatically remove parental responsibility for parents convicted of abuse - 15,551 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 16,511 - 22 added in the past 24hrs)

We want to change the law to automatically remove parental responsibility from parents convicted of abuse. We feel children being required to see their abusive parents and allowing them to still make decisions regarding the child's life is abuse in itself and may cause more suffering.

The Government responsed to this petition on 3rd July 2026 (View Full Response)
The Government is committed to undertaking a review of the law about parental responsibility in its entirety.

Reduce VAT on hospitality to 10%: protect jobs, communities & UK competitiveness - 15,597 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 16,171 - 13 added in the past 24hrs)

Reduce VAT on hospitality to 10% to prevent closures & protect tax revenue. When venues close, HMRC loses 100% of its VAT, business rates, PAYE & corporation tax, reducing employment & supply chains. We believe a lower VAT rate would keep viable businesses trading, securing jobs & ongoing revenue.

The Government responsed to this petition on 19th June 2026 (View Full Response)
The Government is supporting UK hospitality through Great British Summer Savings and lower business rates. Cutting VAT to 10% would cost around £11 billion a year.

Investigate the failures in the administration of Civil Service Pensions - 15,902 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 15,955 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)

We call on Parliament to investigate the ongoing and systemic failures in the administration of civil service pensions. These failures have left thousands of current and former civil servants in limbo, waiting excessive periods for pension payments they are entitled to.

The Government responsed to this petition on 5th May 2026 (View Full Response)
The Government is clear that Capita must restore pension service levels by end of June 2026. We are using all commercial levers, including withholding payments, to hold them to account for failures.

(Estimated Final Signatures: 15,176 - 4 added in the past 24hrs)

The Government responsed to this petition on 23rd April 2026 (View Full Response)
Veterans play a vital role in society. A full range of support is already in place to help them make use of their unique skills and experience to find fulfilling, sustainable careers after service.

Government ban on social media to be for under 13s only - 14,933 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 15,042 - 8 added in the past 24hrs)

Any government ban on social media that is introduced should be for under 13s only. We want people 13+ to be able to use social media. Not just 16+, as we believe 13 is reasonable as you are officially a teen and responsible for yourself.

The Government responsed to this petition on 2nd July 2026 (View Full Response)
Having listened to parents, children and experts, we are restricting social media companies from offering services to under-16s while supporting safe, positive online and offline spaces for children.

Require all emergency services to record staff suicides - 14,627 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 14,684 - 3 added in the past 24hrs)

There is no mandatory system for recording suicides among emergency service staff, which could lead to underreporting and opportunities for prevention. Mandatory recording could reveal the true scale of the problem and enable effective, evidence-based support to protect those who protect the public.

The Government responsed to this petition on 8th May 2026 (View Full Response)
The Government is committed to supporting all emergency service workers. We recognise the variances in suicide data collection and are taking steps to improve this for ambulance services and police.

Review discharge of mental health patients - 14,494 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 14,667 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)

Why do we allow people struggling with mental health to be discharged alone. We think this is a huge safeguarding issue and not protecting the vulnerable. A review should consider requiring that patients are discharged into the care of someone. We think this could prevent the loss of lives.

The Government responsed to this petition on 8th June 2026 (View Full Response)
The Government agrees that people should be provided with the right support post-discharge, as set out in statutory guidance. There are no plans for a review.
