What the petition asks

CAMHS is in a serious and worsening crisis and it is failing our children. The first step to helping our children would be to equip our schools with sensory rooms. This will be the foundation block for children with specialist learning needs, including autism and learning disabilities
Sensory rooms in schools will benefit our children hugely. Please give your full support
