Rejected petition Carers should be paid more than just minimum wage

I work 14 hour days and get £7 an hour. I love my job and its a very rewarding job. we all work so hard to make a difference to the people we support. A lot of us struggle to make ends meet. Why should I and many others look for jobs with more money when we're already in a job we love.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Not all carers are employed in the public sector, so the Government and Parliament aren't responsible for how much all carers are paid.

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