Provide funding to increase school places for students with special needs

What the petition asks

I’m sure there’s many parents out there that are or have been in a similar situation. It should not be a fight to get our children in to a suitable special needs school, there should be enough places available for those who need it without all the hassle! My son has not been offered a place at all!
The Government need to make sure that there’s enough special needs school places, so parents of special needs children like myself don’t have to fight a losing battle to get their child suitable education that they have a right to anyway! The Government are failing our most vulnerable children and something needs to be done about it.
