Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We are sorry to hear about your difficulties finding a suitable school for your son, but we can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Local education provision is the responsibility of your local authority, not the UK Government or Parliament.

You could raise your issue with a local councillor who represents you. You can find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them, by entering your post code here: https://www.gov.uk/find-your-local-councillors

The Government is responsible for providing funding to local authorities for education provision, and we have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:
