Close down SEN schools.

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

This national lockdown has closed all schools except SEN schools. These children are spreading the virus as much as primary/secondary schools and it is not safe for teaching staff to be in SEN schools. SEN schools should be only offering a space to keyworker and critically vulnerable children.

This will help reduce infection rates. Stop the fast spread of covid in SEN schools as they need more 1-1 care. Staff and parents are getting very ill with the virus. Teachers union have gavered evidence.
