Create a national support system for single disabled parents and their children

Create a national support system for single disabled parents and their children — 27 signatures. Status: open.

Petition background

Create a national support system for single disabled parents, including help with childcare during medical treatment and recovery, school and nursery transport, and practical care at home. Ensure disability never leaves a parent unable to access essential healthcare or safely care for their children

Additional details

Disabled parents can fall between health, social care, childcare and transport services, leaving some without practical support to attend treatment, recover from surgery or safely manage essential parenting responsibilities. As a single disabled mother, I have experienced these gaps first-hand. No parent should have to delay healthcare or risk their health because disability and lack of support leave them with nowhere to turn.
