We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee

Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Fund paid leave for those who live with extremely vulnerable persons

The Government should amend its policy for shielding the extremely vulnerable by funding paid leave for people who live with the extremely vulnerable, to help protect at risk.

More details

I live in a household of 6 people, 5 of whom are extremely vulnerable but because I work in construction and I am not vulnerable I have to continue to work, risking bringing the virus home to everyone all because I am not eligible for paid leave under shielding guidance or the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme.
