Make police fine people who abuse people with hidden disabilities

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the government to make it illegal for shop owners to request people with hidden disabilities and Autism for a form of evidence or proof of disability.
Also i want people who abuse Autistic people and those with hidden disabilities to be fined for what they're doing as this can cause anxiety.

i want the government to do this because the amount of abuse us Autistic's and our families/carers are facing at the moment is horrible and is also completely wrong!
The government has done nothing to help us except letting us be exempt from wearing a face mask, where's the help of protecting from people who are abusive and start calling us liars and we are just wearing the land yards just for a stupid reason not to wear one.
Either the government does something or we will take action ourselves.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. It's already illegal to abuse people on the grounds of disability, including hidden disabilities. You can find out more here:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
