Increasing funding to support children with special educational needs

Closed 24 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the Government to provide more funding for:

- facilities to support children and give respite to parents during holidays
- special needs resources
- school places for children with additional needs
- sensory assessments for young children
I think there are too few groups children can attend with SEND. I think we need more local facilities to offer this. I think school places for those with SEND are too limited for those with additional needs, and knowing that children with SEND can be nurtured through schools which can cater for their needs. I want more local funding to support these children.
