Review and amend ‘balance of probability’ criteria for police misconduct

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 26 March 2026

Review and amend the “balance of probability” standard in police misconduct cases. We believe the current low threshold risks dismissal following flawed or incomplete investigations, with inadequate disclosure. Stronger safeguards are needed to ensure fair, thorough, and evidence-led outcomes. Decisions in police misconduct cases can end careers and damage lives. We are concerned that the “balance of probability” standard allows dismissal even where investigations are incomplete or evidence is not fully disclosed. This can risk unfair outcomes and undermine trust in the system. We think stronger safeguards are needed to ensure investigations are thorough, transparent, and evidence-led before such serious decisions are made

Fund permanent, 24-hour police patrols in Jewish communities

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 23 March 2026

In the face of a significant rise of antisemitism across the UK, we ask the Government to fund permanent 24-hour police patrols in Jewish communities. Following the antisemitic attacks, including on voluntary run ambulances that serve the Golders Green Community, we ask that the Government do more than offer what we feel are empty words of solidarity and shock. We believe our community needs a visible and permanent police presence that is on patrol 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We feel closing police stations and reducing police patrols by foot and car play their part in creating a breeding ground where antisemitic attacks are more likely to take place.

Review collaboration between police and hospitals in suspected spiking cases

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 19 March 2026

Currently hospital blood tests need to be approved by police to be able to be used as forensic evidence which can cause delays. Many spiking drugs can leave the system in as little as 12 hours. Delays in testing can lead to vital evidence being lost and predators getting away with their crimes. We want the Government to review the system so that in the event of a suspected spiking, a victim can have bloods taken if they wish, regardless of police permission or involvement, that could be used as evidence. Improved collaboration between medical staff and the police could ensure evidence is available should the victim wish to report, increasing the chances that justice will be served.

Define anti-Christian hostility & issue guidance for schools, police & business

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 15 March 2026

Define “anti-Christian hostility” mirroring the 2026 anti-Muslim hostility definition and appoint a tsar to oversee it effectiveness. Mandate school guidance on bullying, require police to record incidents as anti-Christian hostility hate incidents, and issue guidance for Christian businesses. On 9 March 2026 the Government adopted a definition and tsar for anti-Muslim hostility as part of the “Protecting What Matters” plan. We believe Christians deserve a definition such as this, as in our view many Christian children face bullying in schools and Christian-principled businesses face boycotts and harassment. We ask for Christians to have a definition as that for Muslims, and we hope that creating this in England can encourage consistency across the UK.

Introduce Legislation to make Verbal Abuse toward Police Officers an offence

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 13 March 2026

We believe that to some it's become acceptable that police officers get verbally abused and are considered too hardened to experience Harassment, Alarm of Distress for Public Order Act offences. They are public servants worthy of protection from abuse. Make it an offence to verbally abuse officers. Respect for authority is a central aspect of a functional society, in schools, in courts, in hospitals, and on the streets. We believe this is not a freedom of speech matter, and others in society are protected from abuse. We think well designed legislation can protect police officers, without limiting accountability. In our view, society gets the police service it deserves, and if we want officers who will protect us, we have a duty to protect them.

Review CPS charging test to require fuller police investigation before charging

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 11 March 2026

The Government must review the CPS charging process to require police to obtain all reasonably available evidence & pursue all resulting lines of inquiry before referral. The CPS charging test should also be changed to ensure fuller scrutiny of evidence & documentation before charges are authorised. We believe too many people are charged after incomplete and inadequate investigations because the CPS two-stage test is too broad and police often fail to obtain all reasonably available evidence or follow up all lines of inquiry. This can lead to huge financial cost, employment disruption, and reputational damage. Had evidence been properly gathered and pursued, it may have significantly changed the course of the investigation. The process must be reformed to ensure only properly supported cases proceed.
