The need for more childcare for children, including SEN.

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

To provide more childcare for working parents, especially children for Sen needs. Especially when there is schools that have no wraparound care.
The government wants people to work, if the childcare isn’t there how can they? Especially with Sen children they get discriminated and turned away because of their needs. The government wants people to work then they need to help.
