Petition Disability discrimination and diabetes

More details

Often people living with diabetes do not think of themselves as having a disability, but many people with diabetes are covered by the law that protects people with disabilities from discrimination. Since 1 October 2010 the law against disability discrimination in England, Wales, and Scotland has changed from the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA) to the Equality Act 2010.

I would like the Department of Health to install information leaflets and posters for Type 1 Insulin Dependant Diabetics in all Jobcentre Plus Departments in the United Kingdom. The information should define Type 1 Diabetic rights and laws within employment and offer help if needed to get back into employment.
