Launch a review into increasing the teaching of LGBTQ education in schools
We ask the Government to a launch a review into increasing the overall education of LGBTQ topics in schools, as many young queer kids don’t have anyone to ask, especially if they’re closeted. We believe schools are scared to bring up LGBTQ topics.
Create an independent early years funding review
We ask Government to establish an Independent Early Years Funding Review Body. Similar to the School Teachers’ Review Body, it could take evidence from providers, parents and experts and recommend fair funding rates based on actual costs, not political decisions, for the Government to respond to.
Launch a review into improving social housing provision for families
Launch a review into reforming social housing so families with young children aren’t trapped in unsafe, overcrowded flats. The review should look into creating fairer allocation rules, offering suitable downsizing options for older tenants, and ensuring families have access to a safe, healthy home.
Create independent body to investigate school complaints
We ask the government to create an independent body to investigate all school complaints from the start. The investigators must not be connected to schools, or Local Authorities, to help ensure fair, transparent outcomes and accountability for school leaders when serious issues are raised.
Commission independent inquiry into delays in SEND education provision
Many children with SEND are being failed. Some families can wait months or even years for support, leaving children without the education they are legally entitled to and causing long-term harm.
