What the petition asks
On 23 July 2023, the Government announced the introduction of a Humanitarian Medal. We believe it is a positive step that people will be recognised for their efforts in the future, but that people should be awarded this medal for past service during the pandemic.
We think the creation of the Humanitarian Medal is fantastic moving forward but we feel it should be awarded retrospectively to those who have met its qualifying criteria prior to its creation. This should include His Majesty's Armed Forces, NHS staff and anyone who went above and beyond to assist during the Covid-19 pandemic.
