Rejected petition Change the disabled symbol to a letter/colour due to stereotypical misconception

For a country that prides itself on diversity and inclusion there is still a lot of change and modernisation needed when it comes to disability. Not every disability is visible and the old wheelchair logo is outdated and misrepresents the disabled community of the United Kingdom.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. The UK Government and Parliament is not responsible for changing the international disabled symbol. You could start a petition calling on the Government to change the disabled symbol it uses in government buildings, and to encourage other organisations and businesses to use a different symbol.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
