Increase Government funding for children’s homes & the young people living there
We would like the government to increase funding for children’s homes to ensure that the young people have the support they need to pay for things such as their food shopping, clothes, toiletries, phone bill, and anything else they need.
Increase funding to Local Authorities for home-educated children with safeguards
We want the Government to increase funding to local authorities so they can provide more funding to home-educated children. The funding should be conditional on parents submitting a clear education plan and providing regular updates to ensure this money is supporting the child’s learning.
Provide more funding for children with SEN in schools
We want greater investment in schools/alternative provisions to make them accessible and inclusive for all.
Fund extensive support for victims of grooming gangs
Fund: At least 12 months of fully-funded specialist trauma therapy Access to funded therapeutic retreats Ring-fenced personal funding (housing, debt, education, etc.) Oversight by an independent Survivors’ Panel with real power Automatic, non-means-tested support via a dedicated national fund
Increase funding for learning support in schools
Teachers and children need Teacher Assistants and Learning Support Assistants. We believe without vital help and support; teaching and education may suffer, which could have a detrimental effect on all children - not just the children with additional needs.
