This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.

Decisions about pay for care workers are a matter for individual local authorities and other care providers, not the Government or House of Commons. As a result it is not possible for the Government or House of Commons to take the action you have requested.
