#Children's Rights
Target:
Hertfordshire County Council
Region:
United Kingdom

My 11 year old son has been denied a place at school, every single child from his class - 26 children- has been given the same school, but, our son Billy has been denied this right to be with ALL of his friends because of a measly few hundred yards....

Please can someone tell me where my child's rights are considered here?

He is now expected to travel ALONE on public transport to a school that we do not know in an area he does not know. Safeguarding issues here have not been considered at all, nor his social rights to that effect his education WILL suffer too-due to all those reasons. An 11 year old boy has totally disregarded - this is not acceptable in this day and age.

I want to make parents aware that the appeal process does not consider the child's emotional state or mental state or in fact any consideration to a child! where is the care of duty here? Our local counsellor as well as MP for Hemel Hempstead is in agreement with us, they have been in contact on our behalf but no one is listening... I'm asking you to sign this please for the benefit of the children involved not only our son.

We the undersigned ask Hertfordshire County Council to listen to a child's right to be heard not to disregard him because of your admission rules which are not as important as a child's future.
