Give care workers the same recognition as NHS workers.

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Give care workers more recognition in what they do. Whether they are home carers or work in a care home.

I want carers, whether they be homecare staff or work in a care home, to have the recognition they deserve. They do not recieve the same recognition as NHS workers or teachers etc, when they most definitely should.
