What the petition asks
Make funding available to increase the number of specialist educational settings for physically disabled primary school aged children. We are concerned that children who have physical needs can find it difficult to get a placement in a setting which can meet their needs.
We believe there are not enough support specialist schools to meet the needs of children physical difficulties. They have very few options of a specialist school due to the lack of them, which then makes the waiting list for a child to have a placement even longer. The child can miss out on the education they deserve due to schools being full to capacity.
