P-06-1251 Secure the Right to Remote Access for Disabled and Neurodivergent People
This
petition was submitted by Caley Crahart, having collected a total of 158
signatures.
Text of Petition:
I am a student with
fibromyalgia and C-PTSD. Having the ability to access my course remotely
greatly benefitted both my physical and mental health. Other disabled and
neurodivergent people have had similar experiences and would like the option to
continue accessing their courses in this manner.
The Senedd should ensure
the right to remote access to education, and further should enshrine in law the
responsibility of educational institutions to dedicate complete commitment to
creating an accessible, inclusive environment. Refusal of this robs disabled
and neurodivergent people of the life and liberty we deserve.
