What the petition asks
Millions of grandparents take care of thier grandchildren with out recognition. Allowing thousands of people to work and provide for thier children. Why can they not claim this as a job or even be paid for there time?
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We don't understand how you want family members to be paid. You could start a new petition about this, but you need to ensure that you are calling for clear, specific action from the Government or Parliament.
