Require educational institutions to employ people with a visible difference.
I would like the government to make it a requirement for educational institutions to employ a certain percentage of people with a visible difference.
As a young person with a visible difference (a disability under the Equality Act) myself, I have attended over 200 hundred interviews in educational settings and I have consistently been discriminated against due to the way that I look. I am well qualified and have a lot of experience. I believe that the only way to insure that school staff represent the diversity in the community, is to make it mandatory to employ visibly disabled people.
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:
This is a matter for individuals schools and other educational facilities, as autonomous employers, not the UK Government or Parliament.
You could start a petition calling for a review of barriers to employment (specifically in the education sector if you like) for those with visible differences, if that is something you'd like to happen.
