Creation of the (CDA) Childhood Domestic Abuse Law to protect children affected.

We are petitioning for the creation of a CDA LAW - Childhood Domestic Abuse Law, to protect children and give them better rights in their experiences of domestic abuse and their experience of the court system.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you want there to be new legislation in respect of victims child sexual abuse, but we're not sure exactly what you want this legislation to do.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

We have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:

Extend present day laws on sexual offences to apply to historic cases: Extend present day laws on sexual offences to apply to historic cases
