Change the law surrounding assistance dogs in the UK.
I would like to make it law that alongside ADUK trained dogs, that kennel club good citizen scheme gold level trained dogs (which is highly trained) should have the same rights. It should also be made clear to all businesses including airplanes etc that there is no registry for assistance dogs.
At the moment a lot of businesses are under the impression there is a registry for assistance dogs - there isn’t - and that ADUK and it’s charities is it. They are just charities not a registry and cannot help everyone especially with those that have more the one disability - dogs, trainers and resources are in extremely short supply. Businesses such as airplane companies and shops refuse entry to any dog that isn’t ADUK trained, thus discriminating everyone else.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
The Equality Act 2010 prohibits service providers, including taxis and restaurants, from discriminating against those who need an assistance dog with them. It also requires service providers to make reasonable adjustments for disabled customers. We aren't sure what further action you'd like the UK Government or Parliament to take.
You could start a new petition asking the Government to introduce a registration scheme for assistance dogs, if that's something you'd like to see happen.
