What the petition asks

Members of the emergency services are being assaulted across the country leaving them with severe injurys that stop them from doing the amazing work they do. This should not be tolerated and should be felt with as severely as Assaulting a Police Office has for many years.

Across the news the past month, story's are arising of emergency services Personel being assaulted while carrying out the jobs. Ambulance staff that are there to treat and help people are being assaulted leaving them with serious injurys that stop them from working. The law should be changed to help combat the disgusting behaviour that is being seen across the country.
