Rejected petition People with Severe Learning Difficulties should be entitled to a blue badge

Children and adults with severe learning difficulties often have little or no awareness of danger and can suffer from extreme psychological distress in social situations.People like Olly, a physically abled 15 year old can easy be overwhelmed in a busy car park thus being more at risk to be hit.

More details

Currently people can only have a blue badge if they have inability to mobility issues ie walk or move. However many disability are not visual but have a huge impact of the person and their carer so the criteria needs to change to allow them to safely exit a car park.
Surely if an in individual has been identified as needing a carer they are disabled.
