Get all careworkers paid more than minimum wage.
I want careworkers to get more than minimum wage working with vulnerable adults, they have proven they are the backbone of the UK during this Covid-19 pandemic
I think our vulnerable adults would be at risk if they didn’t have carers risking their lives in this pandemic to support them, they do an excellent job and they deserve a good wage not just now but always

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The UK Government sets a National Minimum Wage and a National Living Wage, which applies to all workers. The Government and Parliament are not responsible for setting minimum wages for particular industries. This is a matter for individual employers.
We have published a petition calling for the Government to increase the minimum wage, which you might like to sign: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/301749
We have also published petitions calling for key workers to be given hazard pay, a bonus, and tax relief, which you might like to sign:
