Rejected

What the petition asks
I want the government to make school trips accessible for all students regardless of behaviour and attendance I want all trips to be inclusive for all children/students
My children have been excluded from school trips due to attendance for being sick and behaviour linked to a disability
All children are different there are varied plausible reasons for behaviours and attendance
Many children have debilitating illnesses/mental health issues that relate to poor attendance and certain behaviours they should not be penalised for this
If a school hosts an event unless a child poses a real threat/danger/risk all children should be included and not excluded
