Rejected petition Make protective clothing and equipment available to security guards by law.

Security guards are being assaulted more and more in recent years. We want to be able to have a bit more protection to protect us from physical injury. Security Guards should be be given stab vests and other protective equipment to help keep physical injury to a minimum.

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 the equipment provided to security staff are a matter for individual employers, not the UK Government or Parliament.

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to require all licensed security staff to wear certain equipment while on duty. Provision of this equipment would be a matter for individual security workers and their employers, not the Government or Parliament.

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