Help get unpaid carers more attention and be treated fairly · petition

What the petition asks

Unpaid carers do so much and save the government alot of money careing for loved ones we need more support and to be treated fairly in these uncertain times .

We carers feel that in the uk we are not actually recognized as key workers or essential workers and this is not fair we do so much and save u all money so how about treating us fairly and recognising us as u do all health care workers out there. We feel like we are forgotten and that's not on at all Scotland's unpaid carers was given a 500 pound bonus! Yet this is more about making sure were named as health workers

Why it was rejected

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

We understand you want more recognition for unpaid carers, however it's not clear what you mean by this or what specific actions you'd like the Government to take.

You may however wish to sign this petition which calls for specific financial support for unpaid carers: Recognise Unpaid Carers.A Fair amount reflecting the commitment & care provided.
