Rejected petition Build more schools/inclusion units in Portsmouth for neurodiverse children
I would like the government/parliament to firstly increase the annual wage of 1:1 assistance and TA’s. All staff are trained to meet diverse needs. More support for families when children can’t attend mainstream. All schools to have an inclusion unit for all ages. Build a new school.
More details
Too many families are struggling to find schools suitable for their children and some are having to not work due to their child being at home and schools unable to meet their needs (EHCP’s). Children aren’t getting the education and support they require from staff with the expertise. Numbers are on the rise as always and this is becoming a crisis for schools, children and their families.
