The petition does not clearly define who you mean by "individuals in positions of power" or "with a professional duty of care". As this is unclear, we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do and exactly who would be covered by it.
