Rejected petition To Recognise all care workers as equal as they are working on the frontline to!
Care workers have been categorised as unskilled. Give them the recognition as any other frontline worker currently in the Uk

Care workers have been categorised as unskilled. They are also there on the frontline giving continued care to our most vulnerable. Most of the care workers may have to live in for a number of weeks if there is lockdown. There is no government support for them!

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We understand that you want the Government to recognise the role of care workers, but it's not clear exactly what you want the Government to do to achieve this.
We have published petitions calling on key workers to be given hazard pay, bonuses, or tax relief, as a result of the coronavirus outbreak, which you might like to sign:

If you want the Government to take some other action, you could start a new petition stating in more detail what you want the Government to do.
