Review Workplace Protections for Disabled People

Closed 51 signatures

What the petition asks

In my view, disabled people face many barriers in the workplace, from lack of accommodations to discrimination and retaliation. I think current laws aren't giving enough protection to disabled people and employers don't seem to face consequences.
I would like the Government to launch a review to look at measures such as stronger protections, mandatory investigations, and reforms to the Equality Act.
