What the petition asks
Offer mainstream schools more help and support to understand SEN children. To help each individual child with their individual needs and not penalise them for having different needs or a disability.School should be a safe place where children grown not be failed!
I have just pulled my son out of mainstream school he is nearly 14 he has adhd and is on the autism pathway. He has been failed immensely by his school and has been made to feel he is crazy and worthless! He has been penalised because of his disability! This should NOT be happening ! How are these schools getting away with this?
I don’t just speak on behalf of my son I speak on behalf of every SEN child and their families. Every child and their families.
Every child has a right to an education!

Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
I'm afraid this petition is unclear about exactly what you want the Government to do that it is not already doing (or says it's doing).
