'Children Missing Education' - Rule of Law and Balanced Justice for SEND Pupils.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

SEND Crisis & Children Missing Education(CME) during 'Term Time Holidays'. When the Supreme Court ruled that “regularly” didn't mean “evenly spaced” or “sufficiently often” but instead “in accordance with the attendance rules” [they] agreed for the fining of parents but failed to address SEND(CME).

The Supreme Court failed to balance their ruling with SEND(CME) in mind, as the words “fails to attend regularly” in section 444(1) of the Education Act 1996 during term time, relates to ALL Children. SEND Children are routinely LEFT WITHOUT Education by virtue of resources/funding. If the Government fines parents who take their children on holiday during term time, then parents can claim damages against their LA’s for failing to educate their SEND children during term time. Balance of Justice.
