Petition Action

Government to pay for - Care Allowance

Petition Details

2 years ago I become a mother (and I am currently pregnant with my second child).
I am worried about the future.
How we will afford to stay at home when my children are off sick?

Employers don't pay for staying with a sick child at home
Nursery, mortgage, bills and life still stay the same.

Additional Information

Why can't we have support as other countries do?

If we are allowed to have SSP for our self why not for our loved ones? They can't take care of them self can they?

Example from other country Care Allowance :

Both parents should be entitled to sick leave for a child, but not at the same time.

The form of employment does not matter here.

! Importantly, the care allowance can be obtained not only for the care of a child but also for another sick family member. !

They pay 80% of salary.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

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

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We understand that you want to see additional support for people when a child or other relative is unwell, but it's not clear if you want the Government to give workers new rights to paid time off work, or to fund paid leave for workers and self-employed people.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
