Increase funding to pupil referral units to meet SEND needs

Petition Details

I started to feel my son had ADHD at age 5 but instead he was diagnosed with ‘trauma’. When my son was in year 7 the transition and changes triggered his anxiety, leading him to be expelled in year 8. Age 13 he was finally diagnosed with ‘significant and severe’ ADHD and sent to a PRU.

Additional Information

There is a lack of funding in education however, these children are the most vulnerable, and if they are not adequately supported via education, SEND support and therapy, too many are likely to end up not in education, employment or training. If they are not supported to develop emotionally and maturely now, their whole futures will be affected. Early intervention not only supports these children, but it reduces the amount of resources used on them as adults. These children are our future.
