Adults with SEND to form support bubbles with parents when in supported living

Closed 3,935 signatures

What the petition asks

To change the rules related to support bubbles so that adults in supported living can form a social bubble with their parents/a close family relative.
Adults with SEND are currently not allowed to form bubbles with their own parents if in supported living. For many adults with SEND their mental age can be similar to that of a child, they have complex needs and are all individual. Therefore, their care needs to be considered separately to other adults and in more detail.
