Fund primary pupil assessments for ADHD before secondary school

Closed 41 signatures

What the petition asks

Fund mandatory ADHD and learning-needs assessments for all pupils in England before they start secondary school, so every child’s learning profile is understood and supported early, improving education and wellbeing outcomes.
Too many children with ADHD, autism, or learning differences go through education without being identified, especially girls and pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds. Early assessment could allow support to start sooner, help reduce exclusions, and help every child reach their full potential in education and life.
