Rejected petition Companies that supply care work need to be registered to a governing body.
Rejected on
To have private care companies regulated if they are providing a service to the general public and vulnerable people.
Just like OFSTED for education. Companies should be registered to a governing bodies register for inspection on how the care is given to vulnerable people. Many companies that provide care are given money from the council to take care of the vulnerable whilst support workers and staff receive no specific training if incidents occur. Tax payers money goes towards no legitimate practise or training to care for our countries vulnerable citizens, the people who need one to one care.
Why was this petition rejected?
We can't publish petitions when the request is something that's already happening or something that has been announced since you started your petition.
We think your petition is covered by Government or Parliament action already. If you'd like something else, you could start a new petition clearly explaining what it is.
The Care Quality Commission already regulates treatment, care and support services for adults in care homes and in people's own homes (both personal and nursing care), in much the same way Ofsted regulates regulates schools and colleges.
