• Parliamentary approval before privatising public assets
    Privatisation, especially of the NHS will put lives at risk and will have seriously negative impacts for those on lower incomes. Schools and hospitals should be there for the benefit of all UK citizens and using them to generate profit will only undermine the amazing service they currently offer.

  • Epilepsy training in all nurserys/school/colleges.
    It is very important to raise more awareness about Epilepsy and how to help someone if they are having a seizure. There are over 40 types of seizure and a child/adult could start having seizures at anytime. I think it is so important for teachers to be tought how to recognise the different types of seizures and also knowing what to do in an emergancy situation. I think it should be compulsory training that all education setting should have to do.

  • Dunfermline & West Fife deserves new high schools now!
    Our children deserve better than being taught in crumbling and overcrowded schools. Dunfermline continues to grow rapidly. It's a great place to live and for children to grow up. But our children are now being faced with the prospect of being separated from their friends because there is simply no room left at their local high school. Enough is enough. Parents are fed up of excuses and fed up of catchment changes, which only cause further anxiety for parents and children and fail to solve the long term issue. It's now time for action to ensure that all children in our community can attend their local high school and access the best possible learning environment. We have waited long enough. We've heard lots of promises but there is still no sign of the hard cash! We demand that the Scottish Government #FundOurSchools now so Fife Council can get on with building the new schools our growing community desperately needs.

  • Improved holiday provisions for all special needs children in Telford and Wrekin
    To support families with complex children during school holidays giving routines, consistency and respite. Having a provision like this would improve mental health and wellbeing of everyone involved. Parents are exhausted and children have no where to go that is suitable for their needs. Even if they do have access to the small amount of trips and playscheme available it is small and not consistent throughout the entire school closures. Parents who are employed are unable to go to go to work as there is no permenant or regular provision suitable for their child. We are not able to send our children to just any holiday club or child minder... They are extremely vulnerable persons and have to have all of their needs met and understood. Our son is 5 and a half years old. He was placed at The Bridge Assessment Nursery for almost 2 yrs so was able to access a holiday playscheme for a couple of hours twice per week for 4 weeks. We were grateful for this little bit of respite at the time even as small as it was, but as our son has now moved to another special school there is no permenant holiday provision at all. Not having respite for a family with a special needs child is so difficult. Our children need routine and consistency and don't understand why school closes for 6weeks+, this accentuates all of their difficulties.

    So today, I took my son too gullivers land. Upon arrival I went to purchase mine and Harrison's tickets, Harrison evidently being under 90cm tall, I asked for one adult and one child under 90cm (which is free) the young girl behind the desk asked me too measure Harrison but I explained that he's disabled and can't stand so won't be accurate anyway. She said she'd need to get her manager, after having a quick word and some giggles behind the window she came back and asked for proof that he's disabled. By this point I was getting fed up and there was a queue of people behind me so I just said fine I'll measure him, I did and as explained before, he doesn't stand and it weren't accurate but he did come up under the 90cm mark. The girl was still not satisfied and asked me to stand too the side and wait for the manager too come out(aiden who is in the picture) he came out and I explained I'm not happy with how I've been treated and more so how my son has been treated. He said and I quote 'I can tell just from looking at him he's over 90cm' how he can make that assumption is beyond me because he was in his wheelchair with a blanket over half his body, he then said she's over 90cm too, pointing at my neice who had been measured at the desk and was about 10cm under. So after his disgusting attitude tensions were rising, I firmly said are you expecting me to pay for him? And he then said actually none of you are allowed in. Bare in mind there was 3 children with us. I was so fed up, I said fine whatever, just give my sister and friend a refund which he refused. Then laughed and walked off!! We went up too the ticket sales window and there blindes were pulled down on us and left down until we moved away, despite there being a big queue behind us. 2 ladies witnessed the entire things and was disgusted so much that they actually phoned head office too complain and they advised they'd send the area manager down too speak with us. About 10 minutes after the call, he came too us, followed by the boy we earlier had dealt with that laughed in my face and refused us entry. The boy they went on to deny what he had earlier said and the area manager actually asked him too leave as he could see how upset he was making us. The area manager apologised which was appreciated and gave me and Harrison free entry but it wasn't really much compensation as too what happened. We was stood outside for an hour before being let into the park. I think it's absolutely disgusting and their staff need educating on how to deal with children with disabilities, asking me to measure my son who has low muscle tone and can not stand is absolutely disgusting. For then the manager to laugh at us as if we were the unreasonable ones was an absolute joke. Safe to pay we will not be returning there and I will be making it as public as I can too make sure everyone knows what its like! At least my boy had no clue what was going on.

  • Save the Old Bodlondeb School Youth Centre from Demolition
    The Council are planning to demolishing this Historic community building. [1] Right now, the building is being used by various youth groups including Scouts and providing a vibrant local community hub. This historic building has been a school, a community centre, and seen generations of children use it and learn in it. CADW, the Welsh government body that conserve the heritage of Wales, are considering making the 122-year old Bodlondeb school a listed building. Over the years, numerous architects have been cautious to preserve the building as much as possible. An archeological report warns: “The impact of development would result in the loss of a heritage asset of at least local significance.” [2] We believe it would be a shame if the Council were to just demolish it. We, the undersigned, want to see future generations be given the same opportunities to use Bodlondeb school for community activities for all ages, from spinning classes to knitting. NOTES: [1] £2.5m Conwy cultural centre could be 'huge draw' for tourists: Daily Post: http://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/25m-conwy-cultural-centre-could-12560789 [2] Archaeological survey by Wardell Armstrong: http://edm.conwy.gov.uk/Planning/StreamDocPage/obj.pdf?DocNo=2651700&PDF=true&content=obj.pdf

  • Allow pupils more choice of footwear at Blatchington Mill School.
    Wearing the type of shoes enforced by the school decreases movement and exercise at break and lunch times. Movement and exercise has been proven to provide both physical and mental benefits. Some children walk long distances to and from school and the type of shoes being enforced are not suitable for this and may in turn see pupils abandoning beneficial walks and resorting to other forms of transport. We urge the school to be more flexible and reconsider its policy on footwear for the health of its pupils. Trainers have been designed as a progressive step towards increasing comfort and activity and we therefore find the schools policy on footwear regressive. Any suggestion to bring in a spare pair of comfortable shoes is impractical not to mention an added expense.
