What the petition asks

We want the government to set clear National guidance on the use of restraint on children and young people in schools and care facilities.
All special schools, residential facilities and mainstream schools (that use restraint) must also have sound recording CCTV were restraint is used.

Children/young people with disabilities are being restrained and injured, my son has been both physically and mentally damaged through restraint and the Government must set clear guidance and standards to safeguard our children/young people.
