Rejected petition Increase pay for NHS staff, social care workers & teachers.

Key worker pay reform is needed now. Some NHS staff have had recent pay reforms, but the government needs to expedite and increase pay reforms for other staff groups. The government must also fully review and increase the pay of those working in schools and social care.

More details

The way key workers have kept our society going through the COVID-19 pandemic has been a source of pride for everyone. We need to reward them and show that society places real value on these incredibly important jobs. We must end poverty wages in social care and ensure that everyone working in key worker jobs is properly and fairly paid.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The Government is not responsible for deciding how much social care workers are paid. This is a matter for individual employers.
