Petition Action

Make mobility aids able to go through security compulsory in uk airports

Petition Details

Make canes owned by the airport that the mobility aid user can borrow to comfortably move through compulsory.

Additional Information

Airports force cane users to put their cane through the scanner and walk them through the metal detector in ways that are invasive and humiliating.
This causes immense discomfort and embarrassment for the person as they are treated like an object.
Making aids that they can use would both speed up the process and make it more humane for everyone involved

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

All businesses, including airports, are required by the Equality Act 2010 to make reasonable adjustment for disabled people. Determining what adjustments to make are an operational matter for individual businesses.
