We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Create an independent body to develop education, health and care (EHC) plans
We want responsibility for assessing children and developing education, health and care (EHC) plans to be removed from local authorities, and given to an independent body staffed by specialists.
More details
We believe that local authorities are failing in their duties towards children with special educational needs and disabilities, and that decisions about the needs of children, and how these should be met, should be made by an independent body, and not local authorities.
