Rejected petition Make a phased return to work mandatory for working parents.

The current process of returning to work as a parent lacks support and can often lead to additional stress. A phased return to work should be mandatory for both working parents to provide a smooth transition back to work whilst maintaining a support system for the stay at home parent.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure whether you would like a phased return to work to be mandatory for all parents, or whether you would like it to be mandatory for all employers to offer a phased return to work. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
