Those working with the most vulnerable must be held to the highest standard & employers in the care sector must be made aware of inappropriate or concerning behaviour, past & present.

Relatives of vulnerable adults & children should be able to request & access information on those working with their loved ones if they are a risk.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about existing measures to vet workers in certain sectors, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. Your petition refers to rights to request information about people working in certain sectors, and measures to improve communication between sectoral bodies and Disclosure &
Barring Service, but it's not clear what information you want people to be given rights to request, or how you want communication to be improved.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
