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 understand that you want people to be entitled to additional time off work for their mental health, but it's not clear what arrangements you want to apply to these days - for example whether they need to be agreed with the employer (like annual leave), and what if any pay employees should be entitled to on these days (as different arrangements apply to annual leave, sick leave and other types of leave).

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