Petition Increase protections for SEN children and young adults

We want the Government to:

- Make internal exclusion of SEN children illegal in mainstream schools
- Require local authorities to provide parents of SEN children with advice on their rights and those of their children
- Require local authorities to provide SEN support up to the age of 25

More details

We believe some autistic children are discriminated against and excluded internally just to ease the pressure on teachers. Parents can feel helpless in getting any support or advice on rights of their children. Children with disabilities can be vulnerable to child neglect and abuse when local authorities and schools not provide sufficient support in the classrooms to maintain the Education, Health and Care Plan for children with disabilities.
