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.
Homeless shelters aren't directly the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament. They're usually run by charities or local councils.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could ask for a law setting specific safety standards for hostels.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
