Open for signatures 292 signatures

What the petition asks

Those attacked by dogs can be left with fear, nightmares and lasting trauma. Families can face huge gaps in care following dog attacks. We need a national trauma support service so victims aren’t left alone.
The Government should create and fund a national support system offering guidance, therapy and recovery so no child, adult or family is left to cope alone.
