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 Extend ‘Harper's Law’ to include social workers
The Government should extend the definition of ‘emergency workers’ to be protected under the new ‘Harper’s Law’ to include social workers.
More details
Social workers work on the front line to ensure children are safe, and can face risky situations responding to the needs of children. We work with high risk people, including offenders, often with no defence tools or security guards in situations that can escalate rapidly. We deserve the same respect and protection that Harper’s Law will give to other services.
