What the petition asks
There is no support for families with children with extra needs,the diagnosis process is often long and families are left struggling to cope even after asking for help and support there is none given, children are let down by professionals due to lack of knowledge on these conditions and suffering
my son has severe adhd & suspected conduct disorder he has received no education since jan & we've been on a child protection plan since feb he's extremely violent to me and his siblings I've asked for help & support on many occasions from various sources and received none, my son is struggling as a result this is a problem for many families and children across the uk. there is not enough knowledge on these conditions amongst professionals and therefor help and support cannot be given properly.
