Closed petition Require venues to have full accessibility info on their websites

To improve disability rights, there should be a legal requirement for all venues, businesses and shops to publish easy to find accessibility information on their websites and social media, even if it means stating they are not accessible.

More details

Navigating the world as a disabled person is difficult enough without venues not showing vital information that could make things so much easier. Too many places either have no information about accessibility at all, or it’s very difficult to find. Emails are often ignored, and answers not easy to get - in some cases because places might not want to admit they aren’t accessible. We believe this kind of legal requirement would make planning easier and would stop companies avoiding the subject.

    Explainer

    Westminster Hall debates give MPs an opportunity to debate a topic of their choice, and receive a response from the Government.

    They are a way to:

    • raise awareness of an issue
    • seek to influence government policy
    • put the views of backbench MPs, political parties, and the Government on record.

    They do not involve a vote on a particular action or decision.
