Closed petition Introduce a Life Assurance Scheme for families of health and social care workers

Closed on 18 August 2021

The Government should consider the disproportionate risk to families of Health and Social care workers. These workers risk their lives and their families to rid the UK of Coronavirus, and the Government should create a Life Assurance Scheme for family members of health and social care workers.

These workers return every day to their families every day, who live in fear of infection from workplaces. Families should not live in fear but here, they do. If keyworkers become carriers and infect the members of their family, the family members are not covered by any workplace insurance or form of insurance.

The Government has established a Life Assurance Scheme for health and social care workers, and should make similar provision for their families.
