Protesters are preparing to launch a series of campaigns against Olympic sponsor and IT outsourcer Atos.

One of the campaigns will include a gathering outside Atos’ UK headquarters this afternoon, in remembrance of those who have died since being declared fit for work by the group. 

The demonstrations are aimed at highlighting perceived failings of Atos’ role in assessing disability employment support allowance. 

The Independent revealed today that more than 40 doctors and nurses employed by the French IT company, had been reported for professional misconduct.

  1. If they are ‘ Healthcare professionals ‘ …….care and professional being the operative words here, should not all ATOS assessors be charged with professional misconduct ?

  2. Not only should these so called Health Care Professionals be charged with misconduct, they have completely ignored their Hippocratic Oath, they are required by law to provide a duty of care, treat people with dignity and have respect for their disability’s. All of them should be struck off the medical register, never again be allowed anywhere near the sick and or disabled, just like the BASTARDS who worked in the care homes and should be joining the ranks of the unemployed A.S.A.P..

  3. hcp they not they only take away our benefits then our house and food so how do they hcp benefit us nah its just another ploy go quietly young people go through that door jeff3

e-petition - Stop Unfair Re-assessments For Disabled People

Responsible department: Department for Work and Pensions

Stop the unfair and cruel re-assessments via ATOS for disabled people currently on Incapacity Benefit. ESA is a flawed benefit, and puts terrible pressure and stress on vulnerable people, putting people who cannot work on lesser benefits and applying sanctions. Let disabled people decide for themselves if they can work, they and their carers know best.
