Require all workplaces have wheelchair access & facilities for wheelchair users
I would like the Government to introduce a specific legal requirement for all UK workplaces to have wheelchair access and facilities for wheelchairs, to support wheelchair users.
As a wheelchair user myself, I have had many interviews for roles that I have dreamt of having that have gone very well, but I have not been able to progress further or accept the job offer due to no wheelchair access or facilities, such as ramps and lifts within and around the workplace. I would like all UK workplaces to be required to have wheelchair access as a standard so that there is equal opportunity for all and no discrimination. This will better allow people like me to make their dream job become a reality.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
