What the petition asks
Every area of the UK is struggling with the rise of children with additional needs in main stream schools. Not enough qualified teachers in main stream schools to help, not enough send schools in areas that are in need the most, not enough life skills being taught to children with additional needs
I would like the government to cater for our children with additional needs that need extra support. Families are now withdrawing children and home schooling them due to the lack of support from local authorities. Every area of the united kingdom are struggling meeting the needs to families with children that have additional needs. Not enough specialised schools are available. Children are being forced into main stream schools who cant cope with the demands, they are not getting funding to help.
