More details

Consider how they are eroding the rights of parents and schools with this new bill.. children with SEND health conditions face discrimination- parents will be penalised & schools unable to use discretion - faith schools affected, home educators rights eroded the LA even failing ones will have more power with this blanket policy then head teachers and parents who understand circumstances of children.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you're concerned about provision of schooling, but it's not clear if you just want the new School Bill not to be introduced, if you also want the Government to review schooling more widely, and if so how you want this to happen.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
