Call for a user-led, independent body to stop abuse in secure hospitals and ATUs

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

We have seen too many enquiries & reports talking about abuse #ActionNeededNow ‘We are sick, angry & upset; we wonder who cares about our lives?’ Over 2,000 learning disabled & autistic people are detained in ATUs & secure hospitals in the UK. How many more people will be abused before this stops?

#WeAreHumanToo are working for changebut in 2021 abuse is still happening The repeated abuse exposed in some institutions shows people being stripped of their Human Rights, living in fear without a voice. We believe an independent group led by people with lived experience should monitor & hold responsible bodies to account. We want the Government to put the Rightful Lives 8 Point Plan into action

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. We're not sure whether you want a new user-led body to replace the Care Quality Commission or in addition to the CQC.

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

If you'd like to start a petition relating Rightful Lives 8 Point Plan, you'll need to set out those actions clearly within a petition, as we can't accept petitions that don't explain exactly what actions you'd like to see happen.
