We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Increase the amount of Paternity leave from 2 weeks to a few months
I want the Government to increase the amount of Paternity leave a male gets when having a child.
More details
In a day with equality being the forefront of movements I believe it's about time males are given sufficient time with their child at early stages to bond. New mothers can have up to a year off; a few months to recover and then time to bond with the child but the farther of the child gets 2 weeks. Fathers should be given more time off to bond with and support the mother in childcare.
