Funding and guidance for Equal Holiday Club Access for All SEN Children

Closed 274 signatures

What the petition asks

Every child deserves the chance to enjoy fun, safe, and inclusive holiday clubs but we feel too many children with Special Educational Needs are being left out. We call on government to ensure equal access to holiday provision for all children.
1. Guarantee Equal Access to Holiday Clubs for SEN Children
Introduce national guidance and standards to ensure holiday clubs are inclusive and accessible to children with SEND across all local authorities.

2. Provide Targeted Funding to Support Inclusion
Allocate ring-fenced funding for holiday club providers to train staff, adapt environments, and provide 1:1 or specialist support where needed.
