Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Extend the time limit for making a claim under the Equality Act 2010

If you have been discriminated against, you only have 6 months to take action, this time period should be extended. The discrimination I suffered affected my mental health which stopped me from taking action within the time frame. Discrimination affected my education and stopped me from graduating.

More details

The government should extend the time limit to at least 3 years which is the same as personal injury. The reason why the government should do it is because the Equality Act is law and can only be changed by the government.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
