Rejected petition: To increase Special Educational Need and Disabilities (SEND) school settings
Rejected on
I am starting this petition to beg this Government to put more budget into the severely underfunded SEND system. We need more spaces in current specialist schools, new schools opening, or at the very least a SEN hub at every mainstream primary school.
Like many others across the country, my non-verbal autistic child is without a school placement, because there is a lack of specialist school settings. He cannot go to a mainstream school and there are no specialist schools available. As parents, we are now faced with the prospect of having to homeschool which is not fair let alone financially feasible.
Why was this petition rejected?
There’s already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
You may wish to sign the following petition, which calls for similar action:
Fund the creation of more SEN schools
