What the petition asks

We would like SIA licenced security staff to be added to the Assaults on Emergency Workers’ Act 2018
As we have seen over the pandemic crisis, key workers are an essential part to our everyday lives. Security staff, along with the police and ambulance and fire, help keep law and order. It is only right that the privileges that are afforded by this law is also offered out to SIA licence security staff.
