Rejected petition: Reform the curriculum and fix the SEND crisis with urgent, cross-party action.

Rejected on

Government and Parliament should work together on long-term, cross-party reforms to address the SEND crisis, fund multi-billion deficits sustainably, and modernise the curriculum from EYFS to tertiary so it meets diverse needs and supports every learner effectively.

Government and Parliament must urgently address the SEND crisis as councils face a projected multi-billion-pound High Needs deficit, with forecasts indicating a £6.3 billion shortfall as SEND funding becomes centralised. Without long-term, cross-party reform and sustainable investment, the system risks financial failure and continued unmet needs for children.


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're not sure exactly what SEND reforms or funding commitments you'd like the Government or Parliament to make.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what specific reforms you would like the Government or Parliament to introduce in relation to the SEND system.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
