Learn Live - Petitions

This Learn Live session explores petitioning as a method for creating change. We interview Kay, a member of the Petitions Committee Team in the House of Commons, who shares her insights about petitions to UK Parliament.

Your students will learn how petitions to Parliament work and how to raise awareness of the issue they are campaigning or petitioning about. Learning that you can start a petition at any age, your students will also be inspired by examples of other young people who have used petitions to raise awareness and create change including; Hannah who petitioned Parliament to change the start time of the school day for secondary schools, and Lucy, who petitioned retailers directly to stop using eggs from caged hens.
