This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about what forms of speech to use in certain places, such as shops and restaurants, are a matter for their proprietors, not the Government or Parliament. We could accept a petition calling on the Government to require all educational staff to be trained in Makaton, if that's something you would like to happen.

As a result it is not possible for the Government or Parliament to take the action you have requested.
