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 use of the 'Child in Need label by social workers & local authorities
We think the government should have a full, urgent review of how safeguarding applies to disabled children. We want respect and compassion for parent carers doing their best under impossible circumstances.
Inquiry into sexual violence in NHS hospitals
I want the Government to have an inquiry into sexual violence being reported in NHS hospitals, to come up with a plan to reduce incidents.
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.
Review police powers under section 136 of Mental Health Act
I would like to see the police have more power to help those in crisis in their own homes. Without a warrant, they can only enforce a section 136 if it happens in public.
Review treatment of ARFID and access to NHS eating disorder services
In many cases, support from NHS eating disorder services is not given to people with ARFID. We think this support is crucial and should be mandatory. If left untreated, ARFID can be life threatening. People can miss out on education and life events, and can lack energy to do basic daily activities.
