Rejected petition Make councils accountable to the 2014 legislation on ehcps.
I am calling for a reform on the current system which has become outdated and overstretched.
Legal deadlines are not being met by LA’s with no accountability for this.
Children with disabilities have a right, by your law, to an education, one that is fit for purpose NOT fit for statistics!
More details
The councils are not being held accountable for their failings and this needs to change!
Wait times for appeals should be within weeks not months to years!
Reform the ehcp system so that all children get a suitable education in a reasonable time when needs are identified. Increase funding and hold councils accountable to the law.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned that some local authorities are not meeting their obligations with respect to EHCPs, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, we have previously opened a petition calling on the Government to introduce fines for local authorities that breach obligations for EHCPs, which you can view here: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/641083
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
