Everyone should have the right to work without fear for their safety. The Government's 'Programme for Government 2025' emphasises creating safer communities and supporting workers, including a commitment to introduce a bill for the protection of retail workers.
We believe that those protections should extend to everyone who works with Deliveroo. That's why we're launching our 'Right to Ride Safely' campaign and calling on the Government to include protections for delivery riders, like you.
Whether collecting the order from the partner, on your way to the customer or handing the order to the customer, we want the Government to make clear that assaulting or threatening delivery riders will carry tougher penalties.
Safety is always our first priority. That's why we offer all riders free accident and injury insurance, and launched our Respect Charter last year, where 20+ national restaurant and grocery brands pledged to build positive relationships with riders.
We hope that you'll share our 'Right to Ride Safely' campaign with other riders and join us in calling on the Government to better protect riders across Ireland.
