Support Parents with Learning Disabilities & Mental Health

Closed 67 signatures

What the petition asks

Too many parents with complex needs aren’t being supported to parent. Rather than being given a chance with the right support they, have their children removed. It's plain wrong and unfair on the child as well as the parent & needs to change.
A service should be created within social services to support parents with learning disabilities and mental health issues to parent and prevent children being taken into care and forced adoptions taking place.
