For carers to be noticed and recognised by the government

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

It is felt by many carers that they are ignored when caring for loved ones at the most difficult time in their life. We carers request that we are recognised for the excellent and difficult jobs that we do.
This is felt that us carers are being ignored.

Why it was rejected

We understand that you want the Government to recongnise carers, but we're not sure exactly what you want the Government to actually do
