something needs to change 

Children suffering from ongoing health problems often miss out on many days, weeks or even months of school.

Missing out on teaching time and lessons reduces a child’s chances of attainting the grades they need for further education and often has a negative impact on a a child’s confidence,  anxiety and mental health.

Many schools provide online learning for children if they have Covid but there is no requirement or extra resources for schools to provide online learning if a child is off school with any other health conditions.

The long term impact of missed learning can affect children all the way into adulthood and damage their life chances and hopes for the future. No child should be left behind or lose the chance of the best possible education because of ill health! 

Please sign my petition calling on Schools and the Government to provide the necessary support and access to online lessons and learning for every child suffering an ongoing health condition.  Let’s make sure every child can get the education and future they deserve!
