What the petition asks
The Government should support those exempt from wearing face masks by making it illegal for businesses to challenge those not wearing a face mask. Many supermarkets/shops and tourist attractions are still requiring medical proof or exempt cards and won’t allow you to enter without proof.
To support the disabled community and ensure we have a voice. At the moment we are challenged everyday at supermarkets, public transport and even tourist attractions. The Government must legislate to protect those exempt and ensure we aren't challenged or made to feel embarrassed when trying to go about our day. We shouldn't need to produce our badge multiple times whilst going shopping or be stopped at every shop.
