Require regular psychological screening of healthcare staff working with babies

Closed 48 signatures

What the petition asks

We want healthcare staff - such as nurses and doctors - who are in contact with babies to be required to undergo regular psychological testing, in order to assess whether they are fit and safe to work with babies.
Due to recent tragic events, we believe the Government must do more to ensure that people responsible for the healthcare of babies are fit and safe to work with babies, and have their best interests at heart.
