Make SEND awareness a mandatory part of primary school curriculum

Closed 67 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like SEND awareness to become a mandatory part of primary school curriculum to help all children have a better understanding of why some children act and behave in certain ways.
I would like this to be done because a lot of children have little to no understanding of special educational needs and disabilities and why children behave and act in certain ways.
