Petition payment for carers

More details

I would like the government to put in place a wage system for carers who look after a relative in their homes. At the moment we only receive a carers allowance which is a very small amount for the work we do.We want a wage and associated benefits the same as anyone who goes out to work as we as carers work 24hrs a day 7 days a week . We deserve a wage which would make our lives much easier
