What the petition asks
Discuss the challenges for schools, families and social workers, school nurses and LA with children around attendance with disabilities, for faith schools, and home educators -really are failing Local Authorities best places to make decisions for children or their families? The DFE has overstepped.
Consider how they are eroding the rights of parents and schools with this new bill.. children with SEND health conditions face discrimination- parents will be penalised & schools unable to use discretion - faith schools affected, home educators rights eroded the LA even failing ones will have more power with this blanket policy then head teachers and parents who understand circumstances of children.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you're concerned about provision of schooling, but it's not clear if you just want the new School Bill not to be introduced, if you also want the Government to review schooling more widely, and if so how you want this to happen.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
