Pay 3rd year student nurses working on the frontline now

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

Pay the student nurses now they are on frontline and should be payed
These students are putting their life’s at risk for us and should be treated the same as everyone on the frontline

Why it was rejected

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

Student placements are a matter for the educational institutions the student is enrolled in, the organisation sponsoring the placement, and the regulatory bodies that are responsible for the qualifications, not the Government or Parliament.

If you have concerns about continuing with a placement you should raise these with the educational institution you are enrolled in, the organisation sponsoring your placement, and the relevant regulatory body.
