Provide funding for wheelchair accessible equipment in playgrounds

Petition Details

We want the Government to provide funding for at least one piece of equipment in every playground around the country that is wheelchair accessible. So families don't have to travel, as their local playground has something accessible for them.

Additional Information

I think at least one piece of equipment is a start to a more inclusive country.

Currently many disabled children have to pay to go to a wheelchair-friendly playground. While able-bodied children get this for free!!

These children never chose to be disabled, this ease of accessibility was cruelly taken from them.

This can make disabled children feel excluded and limits exposure of abled-bodied children to our disabled population, which can lead to segregation and lack of equality.
