Scrap community first responders mobile phones, PPE issued airwave radio instead
Most CFR’s (Community first responders) are issued mobile phones from the ambulance services they volunteer for, front line paid staff can’t work without 2 airwave radios. (1 each) airwave radio should be issued to volunteer groups to help support PPE. Why get treated differently to front line staff
Mobile phones can’t be used in a emergency situation. Airwave radio has emergency red button on the top of the radio that is pushed if staff are attacked or in serious danger. Airwave radio is also tracked by the ambulance control room, so any emergency. You are able to be located straight away. Mobile phone you can’t. Help keep us lifesaving volunteers safe.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. This would be a decision for individual ambulance services, not the UK Government or Parliament.
You could start a petition asking the Government to fund a roll-out of airwave radios to all ambulance trusts in England, if that is what you would like to see happen.
