Health & Fitness Professionals sign up to Checkatrainer to regulate the industry

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

Checkatrainer goes through a in depth 9 point check to make sure all Health & Fitness professionals are qualified to be in controls not people's lives.
Checkatrade have launched Checkatrainer as there is nothing in the Health & Fitness industry that controls:

Qualification, insurance, interviewed, DBS,

There are 88,000 self-employed Health & Fitness professionals "How do we know they have the right qualification and experience"

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Your petition seems to be asking health and fitness professionals to take this action.

We could accept a petition about regulation in the health and fitness industry. We couldn't accept a petition specifically about Checkatrainer, because we can't accept petitions that contain advertising. We could, however, accept a petition calling for Parliament to change the law to require health and fitness professionals to be checked and registered with a professional body or other scheme.
