Provide funding to ensure disabled children have access to physical education

What the petition asks
I want the Government to give additional funding to mainstream schools to ensure there are enough staff and resources to make sure that every child has access to PE and sports day. Children who have disabilities should be included.
Physical exercise is essential in physical and mental health. Particularly in children. Too many disabled children are excluded from PE and sports day. Disabled children shouldn't have to sit on the side line and be excluded. This exclusion can be detrimental to mental health.
