Require schools to teach how to support vision impaired & disabled people

Closed 141 signatures

What the petition asks

Implement high levels of education within the national curriculum about different disabilities, their impact and how to support people with these impairments.
When I moved to a city, I knew I would come face-to-face with different individuals from all walks of life. However, one thing I was not prepared for was a severe lack of education about vision impairment and their impact on individuals. I have lost count of the amount of times that someone has grabbed me and dragged me across the road. I always explained to people that I’m capable but feel this very much falls on deaf ears. I would appreciate your support to improve education around disability.
