This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Training in the workplace is the responsibility of individual employers, not the UK Parliament or Government.
You could start a new petition asking for something that the Government and Parliament are responsible for. For example, you could ask the Government to fund an mental health awareness campaign.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
