Reinstate the 'Charley Says' public information adverts to protect children
We ask the Government to reinstate the classic 'Charley Says' public information ads on television and online, featuring Charley the cat. This campaign, originally broadcast in the 1970s and 1980s, taught children to be wary of strangers and avoid unsafe situations in a memorable and accessible way.

Review highway code for vulnerable road users and fund a tv awareness campaign
We feel the Highway Code updates don’t go far enough for vulnerable road users. We believe the 2-metre distance when passing cyclists, horse riders or carriage drivers cannot be proven. We also feel the police do not enforce the code and we are not taken seriously enough when reporting incidents.
Ban social media for under-16s to protect children
Ban social media access for under-16s. We think this could protect their mental health and childhood. Evidence shows it can cause harm, exposing children to bullying, addiction and inappropriate content. Follow Australia’s lead to prioritise their well-being. Social media can wait—childhood cannot.
Abolish the Office of the Children’s Commissioner
We call on the government to dissolve the Office of the Children’s Commissioner. We think it is not independent enough from government and risks becoming politicised.
