What the petition asks

Carers are under paid £64.70 a week we need to be treated fairly for all our work we do personal assistants,support workers get a paid living wage for their work not carers. Carers live in proverty and have to fight to obtain every provision their loved ones are entitled to but are being denied
Carer is a full time job we need to be noticed and treated fairly

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do to ensure fairness in this area. Alternatively, you may wish to sign an existing petition that deals with this issue, for example:

Pay Carers an allowance equivalent to a fulltime job at the National Living wage
Ensure carers are paid every hour they are in work place including sleep in duty
