Rejected petition Change the eligbility criteria for Blue Light Card

Currently Blue Light Card provides discount codes for all in public services except those who fall out of being CQC registered in a health and social care setting. I would like for this to be argued that it is unfair on those hardworking support workers in community teams.

More details

I have written multiple complaint emails to Blue Light Card stating that the eligibility is unfair and discriminatory to those in health and social care who provide an excellent & well needed service without being CQC registered. Just because a community team in health and social care doesnt need to be registered because it 'falls through the net' of CQC registration should not mean those employees should miss out on something they should be entitled to.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about eligibility for privately run discount schemes are a matter for the companies that operate these schemes, not the UK Government or Parliament.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
