Hi,

A quick line to say a big thanks for your signatures. It has been a week since the petition started and we are almost at 4,000 signatures which shows the strength of feeling there is in relation to this attendance ad campaign.

This overly simplistic campaign really minimises the difficulties that many face resulting from complex and multi-faceted reasons (not least unmet SEND needs, and poverty). This campaign seeks to place the blame at the door of the parents / children who are trying their best to get the support needed in order to be able to attend.

If you haven't already shared, please, please, please share on any of your social media platforms so we can show the DfE the strength of feeling. Even if you have shared, please share again. Let's keep shining the light on the inequality experienced by many of the most vulnerable in our society.
