Children with special educational needs are often transported to school via transport arranged through the council. We want cameras onboard to help ensure the safety of those onboard, and allow for the review of incidents involving students who may not be able to speak, report, or defend themselves.

- 14,927 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 15,186 - 23 added in the past 24hrs)
Over the past 2 years (Sept ‘21–‘23), inflation (RPIX) has been 21%. But max Student Loans in England rose by just 5.2%, leaving students up to £1,500/year worse off (real terms). The government must increase loans to catch up with inflation, or we fear many students won’t be able to survive at uni.

- 8,826 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 14,739 - 58 added in the past 24hrs)
Martial Arts is a popular sport for children. Yet dedicated, passionate, talented students can no longer use them for GCSE. I think Martial Arts are wholly inclusive, appeal to all genders, all ethnic backgrounds and children with SEN. They can help promote fitness, self-discipline and respect.
