Petition Require all school and college staff to attend Neurodiversity training

We would like the Government to make it mandatory for all school and college staff (who work directly with, or supervise students) to attend Neurodiversity training, so they can apply these skills within the school environment.

More details

Many students are neurodiverse. We believe many day-to-day teaching staff do not have the sufficient skills and knowledge required for working with neurodiverse students correctly.

We would like the Government to make a positive change in the educational environment for our children and young adults that have conditions such as: ADHD, Autistic spec, ADD and Dyspraxia so that they are given the opportunity to thrive while there is correct support within schools.
