There are high needs autistic people who have a legally binding Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). Yet, every single special provision school in a district can refuse them admission.","additional_details":"Despite having an EHCP, they are denied their legal right to education. We feel ignored by our MPs. Families nationwide face this crisis alone.\r\nWe demand change:\r\n \r\nThe Government should provide funding to expand SEN school places and hubs in every district so no child is rejected due to \"lack of capacity.\"\r\nLegal Accountability should be enforced when Section 19 duties are not met for alternative education. No child is \"too difficult\" to educate. Sign to demand equal education now.\r\n","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":35,"closing_date":"2026-12-25","created_at":"2026-05-28T19:53:46.648Z","updated_at":"2026-06-25T22:33:40.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-06-25T15:45:44.921Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-05-28T20:38:50.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"Ella Pardner","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"DfE","name":"Department for Education","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-education"}],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":35}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"Bassetlaw","ons_code":"E14001079","mp":"Jo White MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Brigg and Immingham","ons_code":"E14001128","mp":"Martin Vickers MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Croydon West","ons_code":"E14001188","mp":"Sarah Jones MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Derby South","ons_code":"E14001194","mp":"Baggy Shanker MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Doncaster East and the Isle of Axholme","ons_code":"E14001199","mp":"Lee Pitcher MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"East Wiltshire","ons_code":"E14001217","mp":"Danny Kruger MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Leeds East","ons_code":"E14001320","mp":"Richard Burgon MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Rochester and Strood","ons_code":"E14001447","mp":"Lauren Edwards MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Scunthorpe","ons_code":"E14001462","mp":"Sir Nicholas Dakin MP","signature_count":25},{"name":"Tottenham","ons_code":"E14001553","mp":"Rt Hon David Lammy MP","signature_count":1}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"Yorkshire and The Humber","ons_code":"D","signature_count":29},{"name":"East Midlands","ons_code":"E","signature_count":2},{"name":"London","ons_code":"H","signature_count":2},{"name":"South East","ons_code":"J","signature_count":1},{"name":"South West","ons_code":"K","signature_count":1}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
