Enable parents to register birth and death of babies carried beyond 24 weeks
We ask the Government to change the law so parents can register the birth and death of babies carried beyond 24 weeks, even if they passed earlier. Families deserve recognition and dignity, not the miscarriage label, for the babies they carried and gave birth to.

Give father access to birth registration appointment if present at the birth
This is not anti-mother it is pro-child! This petition does not seek to remove or weaken mothers’ rights. It seeks to recognise responsible fathers equally, reduce conflict, and protect the best interests of children. Good fathers who show up from day one should not be treated as legally optional.
Ban abortions after 24 weeks due to Down's syndrome diagnosis
Amend laws relating to abortion to equalise the 24 week limit for abortions in cases where the baby has been diagnosed with Down’s syndrome. We believe that the law should affirm the equal value and dignity of all lives, ensuring that every child has a fair chance to make their mark in the world.
Give all parents the legal right to participate in their child’s funeral
I want Parliament to pass a law to give both parents the right to attend their child’s funeral unless legally prevented, and for Government to provide statutory guidance to funeral directors to protect these rights.
Parental Bereavement Legislation on par with UK Maternity/Paternity Legislation
Every parent who loses a child should have the time and financial support to grieve — just as parents are supported when welcoming a child. UK law provides only 2 weeks statutory parental bereavement leave (often unpaid), leaving parents to return to work far too soon after unimaginable loss.
Allow emergency travel documents for British children born to overseas surrogacy
Allow British children born overseas via surrogacy to return to the UK faster by issuing emergency travel documents, granting access to the fast track first passport service, or enabling a pre birth application process where nationality is evidenced before birth.
