Glasgow City Council: Keep Disabled Boy In Special School That Meets His Needs

September 21, 2012

I’ve just signed this petition.

Stacy Stafford’s son, Aaron Cleary, is in a special school in Glasgow. He was originally offered a two year placement there because the school only had pupils up to the age of 7. The school have since changed their policy and are happy to offer Aaron a place for the rest of his primary education.

However, Glasgow City Council is trying to remove Aaron, now 8,  from the school after the originally agreed two years, probably because of cost.

The school meets all of Aaron’s needs. He is happy there and has made friends. His mother, who as all parents do knows her son better than anyone, thinks the school is the best place for him and wants him to stay there.

The meeting of needs and the happiness of parents and their children are, I have always believed, the most important things that should be considered when school placements are given to disabled children.

That’s why I’m asking you, if you live in the UK, to join me in signing this petition to Glasgow City Council.
