What the petition asks
I think the Government should look at converting disused buildings into schools for children's with additional needs or use the space the schools have to add a unit on. I feel there's not enough out there. I think special needs children are being forced into mainstream schools and are struggling.
I feel children with additional needs need their own space to learn and be with a group of children that all have the same needs. A place where there have all the help they need with fully trained staff.
A place with equipment and a area that can fulfill there learning. We think the Government should consider adding an additional unit onto schools with space for these children who need it.
