Petition Action

Wage of care assistants to rise.

Petition Details

Wage of care assistants in all fields rise to match the difficulty of the day to day job, the emotional & physical effects.

Additional Information

Most carers only make around £7.00 an hour unless they're are over 25 but younger carers are over looked in this.
With the day to day work involved the wage does not show how hard carers work.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We cannot accept your petition in its current form as it does not include a clear action for either the UK Government or Parliament. Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. You could start a new petition asking the Government to set a minimum wage for the social care sector.

Alternatively, you might like to sign this petition, which calls on the Government to extend plans for the Living Wage (which is higher than the Minimum Wage) to all employees, not just over 25s:
