Petition Reinstate the 'Charley Says' public information adverts to protect children
We ask the Government to reinstate the classic 'Charley Says' public information ads on television and online, featuring Charley the cat. This campaign, originally broadcast in the 1970s and 1980s, taught children to be wary of strangers and avoid unsafe situations in a memorable and accessible way.

Recent concerns about child safety, grooming gangs etc highlight the ongoing need for simple, effective awareness campaigns. While digital safety is often discussed, young people and parents would benefit from clear, engaging messaging about real-world risks. Reintroducing 'Charley Says' would provide the current generation with the same protective advice that helped others stay safe. We urge the Government to bring back these public information films as part of a renewed child safety campaign.
