Please sign this petition, the Ambulance crews are often in unsafe situations. Thank you 🙏🏼
When you join the ambulance service, you never imagine that one day you might be attacked or even have a knife pulled on you while trying to help someone who is ill or injured.
Sadly, this is becoming the reality for many frontline ambulance staff.
We are supporting and sharing a UK Government petition calling for funding to provide body armour for frontline operational ambulance staff who wish to wear it. The proposal is that it would be available at staff members’ discretion, similar to how body-worn cameras are sometimes used, alongside appropriate training.
Operational crews have reported having knives pulled on them when attending addresses that were initially considered safe. Despite the increasing risks, many ambulance staff currently have no protective equipment and limited personal defence training.
Paramedics and ambulance crews go to work to save lives, not to fear for their own. Many have families waiting for them at home, and incidents like these are sadly on the rise.
