What the petition asks
For the personal care sector throughout the UK to be en essential service and be made exempt from further forced closures due to lockdowns.
Within the personal care industry, hygiene levels are always set at 110% regardless of the novel Covid-19 pandemic, which have now been tripled by 300% with PPE, sterilising and population control.
The public have stressed how important time with your personal care therapist is surrounding mental health - time with your therapist is proven to release stress.
The personal care industry is the only industry, that cannot continue to trade online or by means of a takeaway service.
