This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition specialised therapies for children with sen needs who’ve experienced trauma
Create tailor made programs for professionals so that they can work with sen needs who’ve experienced trauma/domestic abuse.
Create workshops for DA charities so they can support sen children
Look into the lack of support available for children with sen needs who’ve been witness to DA/trauma
More details
There is currently no support available for children with sen needs if they have experience trauma/DA. There’s a huge gap in support so disabled children are left to suffer with DA/trauma as all programs are tailored towards neurotypical children.
DA charities can’t offer to support sen children as their support isn’t tailored towards them and there’s no support via the NHS or social care
Sen children have just as much rights to help as neurotypical children and shouldn’t be left to suffer
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about support for victims of trauma are a matter for individual therapists and other relevant professionals, not the UK Government or Parliament.
We could accept a petition calling on the Government to increase funding for services that support SEN children who have experienced trauma, or for a review of existing services, if either of those are things you want to happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
