Somewhere to report people/businesses for forcing disabled people to wear masks

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

We want our disabled/vulnerable people better supported. We want somewhere they can report company's who are forcing them to wear masks and or refusing them entry. We want the government to help protect our most vulnerable and stop them being discriminated against and isolated

Many businesses are refusing entry to disabled people who physically can't wear masks or visors. Now the laws are getting tighter more businesses will refuse these people entry or force them to wear masks that they can't keep on for health reasons. They are exempt for a reason and feel like they are going to be isolated even more. There's nowhere for them to report this, they are being challanged and turned away. This is causing more isolation in a world not designed for them in the first place.

Why it was rejected

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

Discrimination and harrassment on the grounds of disability is already illegal.
