Petition Action

Ask Newham Council to create a college for SEND students aged 19-25

Petition Details

We want the government or parliament to:

Ensure that Newham Council funds a new SEND college in the borough.
Monitor the progress and quality of the new SEND college and hold the council accountable.
Review and improve the national policy and funding for SEND education for 19-25 year olds.

Additional Information

We want the government or parliament to do it because:

It is a legal obligation under the Children and Families Act 2014 and the Equality Act 2010 to provide SEND students with suitable education until they reach the age of 25.
It is a moral duty to respect the rights and dignity of SEND students and support them to achieve their full potential and independence.
It is a social benefit to invest in SEND education and create a more inclusive and diverse society.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Local education provision is the responsibility of your local authority, not the UK Government or Parliament.
