Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

Provide more funding and increase pay for people working in the care and support sector
Due to cost of living going up pay does not match to inflation.

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about pay for care workers are a matter for their employers, not the UK Government or Parliament.
