What the petition asks

Children and vulnerable adults need protecting.

We hear so many stories about abuse cases in children's homes, care homes and special needs schools.

There need to be changes to prevent any abuse of children and also to protect staff.
My son is non verbal, with autism and this is something that has always worried me.

I think this would help parents, staff and most importantly the vulnerable people in our society.

Winterbourne view hospital abuse incidents.
The list goes on and on. Yet nothing has changed to protect the people that need it most.
