Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can't accept your petition in its current form as it does not call for a clear action from the UK Government and Parliament.
If Ravensdale is funded by your local council, you could raise this issue with local councillors or start a petition to the council (if your council has a petitions process, details will be on its website).
Alternatively, you could start a petition calling on the Government to provide funding to local councils to support day care centres for children with special educational needs.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
