Make all social workers and local authority wear body cameras

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like the government to make it a legal requirement for all social workers and local authorities to wear body cameras
During all interactions with families to protect false allegations made and make sure the families treated wrongly can be proven and the families that aren't given the right help can be helped correctly without any corruption.To many times I hear stories like mine, a mother struggling and ringing for help only to be turned on and have the local authority lie in paperwork and make up false allegations based solely on their word and the courts believing them.
