carers to be acknowledged and paid for the service they provide!

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the government to acknowledge that being a Carer is not an easy job by any means and you do spend a lot more time out of the hours you get paid making sure your clients are ok and comfortable so I would like this to be acknowledged and awarded a decent pay.

Why it was rejected

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

We understand that you're concerned about carers' pay and recognition of how important they are, but we're not sure what you'd like the UK Government or Parliament to do.
