Urgently provide funding to schools to support children with SEND

Closed 818 signatures

What the petition asks

We call on the Education Secretary to urgently boost special needs funding as there are currently thousands of children in the UK who have SEND who are without a school place. This is an unnaceptable situation causing huge stress and anxiety for parents and their children.
