Ban social media from under 16 year oldsTo safeguard all children who fall into this catergory. Open and free access to social media of this age group is opening up access to paedophiles and is currently leading to vile and sickening acts being carried out by these sick people. We need to put a stop to this now before more children fall victim and have their lives ruined. The world will then lose the ability to have real time interaction with real children which is what needs to be done.151 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Lucy Fletcher

Vote for cannabis legalisationThis is important as it is in our right to be able to do with our bodies as we choose, as it stands the government seem to believe that us people can be treated like children told what we can or can't do with our bodies, we should have right to make that decision for ourselves, not told it is for our own good, drinking is much more harmful than any strain of cannabis in existence yet that is legal. I'm not saying all drugs should be legal but I do suggest there should be a choice for all minimum risk drugs such as cannabis, atleast this way us as the people of UK we can make our own mind up as to whether we think we should be able to have cannabis for our own use rather than a room full of people who are not part of the public, who destroy people's lives over this drug. Give us a choice, the government are supposed to support there people not oppose them.51 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Andrew Brannan

Ban the use of Methylisothiazoline Ap123 and Methylchloroisothiazolinone Ap124The use of Methylisothiazoline Ap123 and Methylchloroisothiazolinone Ap124 are preservatives and used in most moistrasisers, make up, baby fragranced wet wipes, washing up liquid, perfume, deodrant, etc. I can list a whole load of things this is used in and im pretty sure if you look at the ingredients in most of your soaps, body washes, make up, sun screen, perfume's, t tree products, shampoo, etc you will find it in them!! Methylisothiazoline Ap123 and Methylchloroisothiazolinone Ap124 This is used as a presevative to make the products last longer. But what annoys me the most is the use of this product on sensative skin products, yet for people like me with sensative skin and an eczema suffer i can't use the products because it contains this Chemical, it's in so many things!! This does not help excema suffers or sensitive skin sufferers or any other skin problems you may have. This Chemical has ONLY BEEN BANNED in 1 country... YES THAT'S RIGHT 1 COUNTRY!!! I would like to bring a ban on the use of this Chemical in our product's in ENGLAND, as it is not good for our skin and can cause you to itch and come out in a rash due to this chemical being used. Unless you have a patch test done and get tested you can not tell if you are allergic to it. I want people to be aware of this and the more people know about this the better. Thank you for reading and please sign it to make this happen for people who suffer like me and fight this battle everyday.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Nina Harris

Reinstate the Mental Health Unit in MedwayThe Mental Health Unit at Medway Maritime Hospital was closed in 2013 by Jeremy Hunt, this was short-sighted and a mistake. A third of all police time is taken up having to look after mental health patients, time that could be better spent tackling crime. Since the closure, KMPT (Kent and Medway's health and social care trust) has spent more than £5.6 million on out of area referrals due to a shortage of beds for patients.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by John Castle

STOP PROMOTING SWEETENERS TO CHILDREN: LISTENRecent background: 1. In August ’16 Government gave a policy statement in relation to the Sugary Drinks Industry Levy that Key component of Childhood Obesity Strategy is to promote diet drinks. It was no.1 in a list of ‘12 Things You Should Know’, published on the government’s news website. The ‘reformulation’ of products, which currently amounts to replacing sugar with artificial sweeteners, was to be extended to other products deemed too high in sugar, regular yoghurts are among the cited foods. Questions challenging the policy were blocked at the Health Matters Live event in November ’16. Citations of studies and reviews that concluded not enough was known about the safety of sweeteners, were removed from a Wikipedia site on Sugar Taxes. The effect of the strategy has been an escalation in the use of sweeteners by manufacturers, and it is not immediately clear, when choosing items from the shelves in supermarkets, that sweeteners are being used where once they were not. Products may not be described as ‘diet’ or ‘with sweeteners’, other than in smaller print on the ingredients label. (Neotame and advantame may legitimately be used without any mention on the ingredients label.) 2. In January ’17 a Government Health Report announced that for success there needed to be zero price promotions on ‘unhealthy’ products. To use the same example, regular yoghurts are classed as ‘unhealthy’, artificially sweetened ones as the ‘healthy’ option. The effect of this move is to limit the affordable choices for poorer families wanting to give their children a healthy balanced diet with less emphasis on sweet things, but with no artificial sweeteners. All have the right to make informed healthy choices. The right to an informed choice is being eroded.

Review of the healthcare in private Scottish prisons.I, and many others are disheartened by the appalling healthcare standards in Scottish prisons, in particular, private prisons. Prisoners are there to be punished, not tortured and deprived of basic healthcare needs. Poor reaction time to prisoners pressing call buttons requiring urgent medical assistance. Prisoners left in excess of two months without their regular medication, and in excess of four weeks to be seen. Epilepsy sufferers deprived of their medication and left having seizures in their cell untreated by medical staff. The care commission have refused to investigate, or conduct a review. This petition is important to highlight the faults in prison healthcare and how it can cause deterioration to a prisoners wellbeing, this not only abuses their right to healthcare but abuses human rights.22 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Concerned Citizen

NHS: Review inconsistent blood donation policy>> How does current policy discriminate against women in relationships with bisexual men? The current guidelines state the following: You must not give blood or platelets for at least 12 months after sex (even if you used a condom or other protective) with... --If you are a man who, in the last 12 months has had oral or anal sex with another man (even if you used a condom or other protective). --(If you are a woman) a man who has ever had oral or anal sex with another man, even if they used a condom or other protective. This means that if a bisexual man has sexual encounters with another man and then enters into a relationship with a woman, within 12 months he can then give blood again. If a woman enters into a sexually active relationship with a bisexual man [A], she can not give blood for the duration of the relationship and for the 12 months after, regardless of the length of time between the male partners last same sex encounter. This will soon be changing to 3 months but still prevents women from donating for the duration of the relationship. This causes situations where a male, who has engaged in "risky behaviour"[B], may be able to give blood long before the woman, who has not, can. This is regardless of whether safe methods are used and whether the woman has undergone screenings for STIs/HIV and becomes a form of discrimination based on gender. >> What needs to change? It is critical that the blood donation process is made as safe and incident free as possible. While many safeguards are controversial, this petition sets out to remove the unnecessary bias directly affecting women in long term relationships with bisexual men. The demand of this petition is simple: That if men are allowed to give blood 12 months after their last sexual encounter with a man, that the same time frame is provided to the subsequent female partners of the man in question. For this to happen, I would ask that: - Current guidelines are reviewed for their consistency towards women - That clear, fair guidelines are communicated to all front line staff to prevent otherwise eligible donors from being turned away >> Why is blood donation important? The NHS requires 6000 volunteers to give blood every day. [1] Blood is used in hospitals to treat conditions such as anaemia and other blood conditions and it is also used during life saving surgery and to treat blood loss after birth [2]. Occasionally blood is also used by scientists to better understand certain conditions. >> My story Despite sympathies from the Nurse, who could fully see my point, I was turned away from the Birmingham City Centre donation clinic on these grounds on the 23 August 2018. I was informed that if my partner wanted to give blood and undergo screening that I would be able to at the same time. This would be fine if every one was able to/desired to give blood and everyone could access the same clinics as their partner but that simply isn't the case for everyone. It is also an additional step that I have to go through that my partner does not for no reason other than my gender. >>Definitions and references [A] I have used the term bisexual male for simplicity but it should be noted that this should refer to the broad spectrum of sexualities and genders for which the same blood donation restrictions apply [B] The term "risky behaviour" is based on NHS terminology and in no way reflects my views on the issues around gay men and blood donation [1] Source: https://www.blood.co.uk/why-give-blood/the-need-for-blood/ [2] Source: https://www.blood.co.uk/why-give-blood/how-blood-is-used/2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Stacey Warner
