Petition Details

Security guards are being assaulted more and more in recent years. We want to be able to have a bit more protection to protect us from physical injury. Security Guards should be be given stab vests and other protective equipment to help keep physical injury to a minimum.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about the equipment provided to security staff are a matter for individual employers, not the UK Government or Parliament.

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to require all licensed security staff to wear certain equipment while on duty. Provision of this equipment would be a matter for individual security workers and their employers, not the Government or Parliament.
