What the petition asks
Class all types of cleaners as essential/key workers. Including Private cleaners, self employed and domestic cleaners. Cleaners are key workers during the covid pandemic with the right training to help beat this virus quicker!
Cleaners should be added to the key and essential workers list so they can continue to work and have their children go to school. It's essential to disinfect and properly clean all areas including private homes during this pandemic to help stop the spread. Although we are allowed to work we aren't classed as key workers so our children cannot attend school! This needs to be changed!
