Better consequences for women who are asked if they want kids at interviews.
I’d like there to be clearer guidelines on whether this is an acceptable question to ask. I feel as though women have a disadvantage whilst they are at childbearing age. Although this is unlawful, we still get asked this question.
I do not feel protected or considered when applying for work.
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 Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. The Government website clearly states that recruiters cannot ask about this in interviews. You can find this here: www.gov.uk/employer-preventing-discrimination/recruitment
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a petition calling for the Government to fund an awareness campaign about this issue, if this is something you would like to see happen.
