Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what SEND reforms or funding commitments you'd like the Government or Parliament to make. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what specific reforms you would like the Government or Parliament to introduce in relation to the SEND system.

Background
Government and Parliament must urgently address the SEND crisis as councils face a projected multi-billion-pound High Needs deficit, with forecasts indicating a £6.3 billion shortfall as SEND funding becomes centralised. Without long-term, cross-party reform and sustainable investment, the system risks financial failure and continued unmet needs for children.
