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 the safety of security staff, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. Your petition calls for security staff to be allowed to wear protective clothing while on duty, but this is already possible.
We could accept a petition calling for the Government to make it a legal requirement for security staff to wear a stab vest while on duty, if that's what you want to happen.
If you start a new petition you would need to provide your full name.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
