Let refugees in the UK have a right to work.

Petition Details

We want to enable refugees to work in the UK and look after themselves without having to depend on the Government. Currently, they are left to live on just £5.39 per day, struggling to support themselves and their families. Help us change this and let refugees have a right to work.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

People who have been given refugee status in the UK are allowed to work and may be entitled to social security benefits, so we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a new petition calling for changes to the rules and support for people seeking asylum in the UK.
