A consultation report issued by the Petitions Select Committee providing draft recommendations for action, following their inquiry into the online abuse and the experience of disabled people. The inquiry was prompted by a petition by Katie Price, which called for a specific criminal offence to cover online abuse and a register of offenders. The Petitions Committee highlight that disabled people are failed at every stage in the development of digital policy and practice. They noted that Government and social media companies fail to consider disabled people when developing policy and practice; the law is insufficient in dealing with disability hate crime; and the online space has opened up new avenues for so-called "mate crime". The consultation covers 14 draft recommendations, including making incitement of disability hatred a specific crime and requiring social media companies to produce Easy Read privacy notices. The draft recommendations are based on conversations with and evidence from disabled people, disability advocacy groups, the police and social media companies. (Edited publisher abstract)
