Fund additional specialist school capacity for children with disabilities & SEN

Closed 126 signatures

What the petition asks

We are asking the Government to provide funding to build new or increase the capacity of existing specialist schools for children who have disabilities and special educational needs across the country.
Too many children cannot access SEN schools because there is a scarcity of spaces across the county. All children deserve to have access to an education that is right and suited to their learning needs. No child should be made to go to a school that is not right for them and are unable to provide the education that they require.
