Fund the creation of more SEN schools

Closed 484 signatures

What the petition asks

We feel that there are not enough SEN schools to accommodate SEN children. We think there are SEN children struggling through mainstream school and having to be home educated because they simply cannot cope with mainstream school.
We feel that more needs to be done and that all children should be catered for. No SEN child should be forced to attend and struggle through mainstream school when it is not the right setting for them. We think our SEN children deserve better.
