Require training on Autism for everyone who is in a childcare profession

Closed 378 signatures

What the petition asks

Provide childcare settings the funding to be able to make sure all their staff are trained in understanding autism and what the signs are so that they are recognised earlier in a child's life and they are given the support both them and their families need. Make it a requirement by law that happens

More houses are being built to provide homes for people but not enough schools are being built to go with it. The lack of specialist schools for SEND children means a lot have to go into mainstream schools where they are not always supported the best they can due to lack of training, staff and resources in a mainstream school. It is every child's right to have an education (Equality Act and Disability Discrimination Act) and it is the governments job to make sure it happens.
