Save DOL (Dorset Online Learning) from closure
Stop the closure of DOL (Dorset Online Learning)
Why is this important?
DOL (Dorset Online Learning) offers a fantastic opportunity for children in Dorset, who for a variety of reasons, are not able to attend school for their education.
Many of our children have been or are lucky enough to receive their education at home via DOL, and complete their GCSE's.
We have just discovered that DOL is to be closed by the Dorset Education Department as early as September or October this year, and the 'All Inclusive' education service will be lost, with many children losing their educational lifeline.
We all know only too well, how hard we had to fight for our children's education, and feel very passionately that others should be able to receive the same opportunity.
We are collectively endeavouring to raise a petition and campaign to save DOL, but only have until 4 September 2017 to do so.
We would really appreciate any assistance you may be able offer to save this invaluable service.
As the national initiative confirms 'Every Child Matters'. Also as stated in the 'Your Dorset' paper in your own words 'We all face financial constraint, but this should not stop us listening to residents and making sure we are delivering services which make a positive difference to people's lives'
Thank you for your time and we hope you will agree that this invaluable opportunity for the children of Dorset should not be lost
