Commission a Public Sector Service Medal for all workers service during pandemic

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The Government to give formal recognition to the sacrifices made in the execution of their duties to the country and public during the current Covid19 Pandemic.

During the current crisis NHS, Police, Fire Service, Prison Service, Armed Forces along with other Government Departments have worked above and beyond their normal working arrangements. Putting the needs of the Country ahead of their family. They have exposed themselves with little thought to their own personal health to support the sick & vulnerable. These selfless acts have resulted in the damage to their physical and emotional health and will have lasting effects on them and their families.
