Stop the nanny state. Make society take some responsibility for itself again. We should all help to look out for our neighbours - be they young or old, we should all pick up the odd bit of litter, scrape the paths outside our homes in the winter, report vandalism to the police who should give a dam, before it gets out of hand. If a child is abused over a long period of time it is societies responsibility and unlikely to be one over worked social worker scape goat. Spending millions on an enquiry just leaves less cash available to spread social workers case loads. Why do enquiries need to cost such ludicrous amounts of money? Same for litigation in the NHS. Can't we have a standard if you use the NHS disclaimer rather than litigation stopping funds being available for medical treatment.
Make it possible for clubs and societies to function without endless red tape, insurances and paperwork. Parents need to take some responsibilities for who they leave their children with, what activities and risks are involved. If we carry on the way we are we'll all live in high gated houses and lock each other out.
Have more respect for the role that stay at home parents have and the silent unpaid support many offer our communities fundraising, helping at the school, playgroup, nursery, after school, filling in the blanks for people stuck for nursery care, looking after elderly neighbours. Don't force us back to work by cutting things like child benefit and tax credits.
Consider what the benefits are of the free school provided nursery places - especially when schools are using a whole classroom and qualified teacher(s) for this provision. Originally set up as helping mothers retrain and get back to work? Much as I love the four 2.5 hour sessions term time only, the cost must be astronomical and what you can actually achieve in the 1.5 hours 4 days a week you have left after dropping off and setting of to pick up I'm not sure. This also seams to have replaced/ made un-viable some of the cheap playgroups run by wonderful (generally women) who have years of experience in helping little ones to socialise - which is after all the major thing we are trying to teach at this age. If you are genuinely low income the working tax credit childcare support element kicks in which provides far more practical support for enabling parents to get out to work.
Allow GP's to sack patients who repeatedly don't turn up to appointments. Just because it doesn't cost them direct it doesn't mean it doesn't cost the rest of us. Rewrite the crazy GP's salary package that means they get more money for fewer hours than senior hospital consultants.
Encourage use of our pharmacies as is common place in Europe where you pay for a GP. Provide funding to encourage pharmacists to set up consultation cubicles as in Germany and allow them to prescribe drugs for common ailments - again taking pressure of GP's.
Protect family learning in our schools - I've been involved in a scheme and seen some parents really flourish - l don't know how it can be quantified in numbers and on graphs. But I know of children who've gone from being disruptive and not involved in the group to really joining and fitting in. I've seen women gain in confidence and get interviews, qualifications and jobs. Its an important relearning of basic values which need to be educated because they have been lost. Like basic cooking and interacting with your children.
Protect our rural schools. They may not look as though they stack op on paper in comparison to more efficient inner city multiclass schools but they provide a hub to the community where the shop, post office, library bus, pub, church and transport system have disappeared.
