Text of Petition   

We call on the National Assembly for Wales to review the way parents and families, particularly those with disabled children, are treated by public services including the NHS, schools and social services.

Families are being wrongly threatened and treated badly by professionals such as social services, doctors, nurses and staff in schools. This must stop.
