Conduct a review on the placing of under 18s on adult NHS wards
16-18 year olds are considered adults in the NHS and are often treated on adult wards. At 16, you are still a child. We think that until you are legally allowed to vote etc you should still be under children's medical care. It's wrong to force children to have to be in an adult ward.
Review support provided to autistic parents involved in SEND tribunals
We think autistic parents are currently denied equal access to justice when representing their children in the Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) Tribunal, and call on the Government to review this as autistic parents deserve equal access to justice when advocating for their children.
Review punishment of Child Sex Offences
Review sentencing to ensure penalties reflect the severity and long-term harm of child sexual abuse. Offenders convicted of child sexual offences must serve their full terms in Category B prisons or higher. There should also be mandatory lifetime registration and electronic monitoring.
Urgent review of CPS decision making for domestic abuse and coercive control
We call on the Government to urgently review CPS investigations and charging decisions in domestic abuse and coercive control cases, to ensure the law is being applied correctly and all forms of abuse are taken seriously, not just extreme physical violence.
Review access to mental health care for children & YP with learning disabilities
Conduct a review of current provision and make sure that children & young people with learning disabilities have equal access to mental health care. This group are at greater risk of mental health illness and need specialist support.
