What the petition asks
The Government should require all local authority staff to undergo training in SEND, to give them a better understanding of how SEND children see the world and the daily struggles many have.
Our children are not just a number and deserve to have a chance to flourish in the right setting with the right support offered to them.
Better and more consistent understanding of the needs of SEND children by local authority staff should make the process of obtaining the support these children need far easier and less stressful for families.
