Require Ukrainian children be offered school places within 14 days of arrival

Petition Details

We believe schools should be required to offer Ukrainian refugees of school age a place in a local school within 14 days of arrival in the UK. Children arriving are being told no school places are available. We are failing traumatised children. Schooling is the least they deserve.

Additional Information

We believe the UK Government has not given sufficiently clear direction to local authorities on providing school places for Ukrainian children who have recently arrived in the UK. This has resulted in many children not being placed in school, as applications are considered, or because no places are available.

We want the Government to create a new requirement for local authorities to offer school places to all Ukrainian children within 14 days of arrival in the UK, to ensure they do not miss out on education.
