Amend laws on parental titles on birth certificates
We believe UK law needs to be more flexible to allow parents to choose & amend the parental title recorded on their children’s birth certificates, to allow for two mothers/fathers. We think this is important to help formally recognise the realities of their lives and relationships.
Require mothers to list the father (if known) on birth certificate if safe to do
Require mothers to name the father on the birth certificate, if known and safe to do so, ensuring equal parental rights and responsibilities. Fathers with no criminal convictions or history of domestic violence should be granted equal parental rights from birth including 50/50 contact
Introduce a cooling off period for public access to sensitive court documents
Set a legal minimum cooling off period for sensitive information used in court, so families impacted by serious crimes aren't retraumatized for media profit shortly after crimes & court cases.
Explicitly exclude sex offenders from accessing children’s data under CWS Bill
We call on the government to add a category of exclusion to the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill to prevent child sex offenders from accessing the increased amount of data that could be collected stored and shared if the Bill becomes an Act amounting in some cases to a child’s daily whereabouts
