We have to do 250 hours per placement a year. We work so hard on placement for free as well as some students working part/full time. We should get paid a decent amount to feed our families and ourself. The COVID-19 is a risk to us all. Either pay us or cancel all placements with effect of immediately without it damaging us passing the year and graduating on time.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Student placements are a matter for the educational institutions the student is enrolled in, the organisation sponsoring the placement, and the regulatory bodies that are responsible for the qualifications, not the Government or Parliament.
If you have concerns about continuing with a placement you should raise these with the educational institution you are enrolled in, the organisation sponsoring your placement, and the relevant regulatory body.
