Rejected petition SEND children to be able to access specialist provision and EHCPS to be abided.

Rejected on 20 July 2021

There is a huge lack of specialist education provisions across the country. All children should be entitled to an appropriate education regardless of ability. Special needs and disabled children are being put into mainstream schools without their education plans being adhered to and failed.

There are thousands of disabled and extra needs children not being allocated a space within a specialist provision including our son. The correct supportive environment as a child reduces the cost later on to society as life skills and independency is taught alongside an individual curriculum.
Education plans which are incredibly difficult to achieve are not being adhered to even though they should be a legally binding contract.
It is discrimination and failure by the Government.
