This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We can't accept your petition in its current form as it does not call for a clear action from the UK Government and Parliament. It is already an offence to discriminate against people with Tourette's Syndrome in the workplace, under the Equality Act 2010.

You could start a petition calling for specific additional sanctions for discrimination.

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