That the Parliament supports calls from members and non-members of the Domestic Cleaning Business Network trade association to make financial support available specifically to the cleaning industry in Scotland; understands that the Domestic Cleaning Business Network is the largest trade association for domestic cleaners in the UK; recognises that domestic cleaners have been massively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic as a result of Scottish Government restrictions and that Scotland is the only UK nation to restrict domestic cleaning activities; believes that as a result of these measures, targeted financial support is needed from the Scottish Government, especially given reports that the industry has been refused specific funding or access to the Strategic Business Framework Funding as the cleaners are not recognised as either being deemed essential or part of the supply chain to those businesses prohibited by law to open under the tiered restriction levels; notes that affected cleaning service providers have been directed to the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) funding or discretionary funding, for which they are often not eligible; recognises that whilst furlough funding has been provided to many businesses, this does not consider the overheads for insurance, premises, legal and accounting fees, pensions, and national insurance contributions or rent; is aware that the criteria for discretionary funding as well as payments varies from local authority to local authority and is not specifically targeted towards the cleaning industry, with the exception of one council; is further aware that many applications have been rejected by individual local authorities or the criteria excludes the businesses from even applying in the first instance; listens to the calls from the industry that cleaning businesses throughout Scotland are now in an untenable position where job losses and business closures are inevitable, and as such, believes that targeted funding is essential to ensure the survival of the industry and the jobs and livelihoods it supports.
