Reduce the age at which people can open Individual Savings Accounts to 16
At 16 people can work and get a passport without parental consent. We believe that lowering the minimum age for adult ISAs will send a strong, positive message to younger generations about the power of saving and investing as well as giving young people access to the full benefits of the ISA regime.
Reduce the Age of Majority from 18 to 16
The Government should amend the Family Law Reform Act 1969 and/or other current legislation so that the Age of Majority is reduced from 18 to 16.
Raise parental leave limit for parents working at least 16 hours a week
We believe raising the parental leave limit for parents working at least 16 hours a week is particularly important for single parents. We want the parental leave limit to be raised to at least 4 weeks per year.
Free bus travel for under 16s
I am writing to urge the government to introduce a free bus pass for all under 16s in England. I think this would tackle child poverty, boost education access, encourage independence, support the environment and improve safety.
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.
