Dear friends,
Thanks to your steadfast support, we’ve reached a major milestone:
Our petition has now been accepted on the official UK Parliament website.
This matters—because only Parliament petitions have legal force:
✅ At 10,000 signatures, the Government must respond publicly.
✅ At 100,000, it must be debated on the floor of the House of Commons.
The petition text is precise, principled and powerful:
🖋 Require Independent Scrutiny Before Passing Education Laws Affecting Rights
No education legislation affecting parental rights, freedom of belief or home education should become law without an external, cross-party review—grounded in the Human Rights Act and Equality Act—completed before final passage.

Why This Step Is Crucial
While you’ve already signed our Change.org petition (thank you!), this official channel provides the legal and parliamentary leverage:
📣 Public pressure via Change.org
⚖️ Legislative obligation via Parliament
Together, they form a pincer movement the Government cannot ignore.
Here’s how you can help today:
- Sign the official Parliament petition (even if you signed the Change.org one).
- Forward this message to 5 others—parents, friends, or educators.
- Post the link in WhatsApp groups, PTA chats, and social feeds with a personal note: “I’ve signed—please add your name.”
Time is short. The Schools Bill is advancing.
Let’s flood the petition site and force a choice:
Real scrutiny—or political cost.
With gratitude for your tireless support,
Asher Gratt
