What the petition asks
CATCHOOS is an amazing service for autistic children who live in Birmingham and have no school. The Govenment has cut funds and CATCHOOS is to close. Birmingham have had the most funding cuts from Government, we have the highest disproportionate S.E.N. People move to Birmingham for our provision.
CATCHOOS is an amazing service for autistic children with no school. 100 more school places are needed.
I attended the recent buget cuts consultation in December 2018 and i understand that Birmingham have had the most funding cuts from Government, i also know we have the highest disproportionate S.E.N children. People move to Birmingham for our Outstanding provision. This has created 100 children with no school place. A gap in funding, services and more places closing. Ring fence S.E.N cash.
