Welsh-speaking children with severe and complex additional needs are being sent to England due to no suitable placements in Wales. We call for urgent local Welsh-medium provision.
More details
My son is a Welsh-speaking child with severe and complex needs, including autism, ARFID, Pica, and anxiety. There are no suitable local placements in North Wales, so he must go to England — far from his home, family, and language.
Many families face the same heartbreak. Children are being sent away due to a lack of specialist provision in Wales.
We call on the Welsh Government to: • Create local placements for children with complex needs • Develop and fund Welsh-medium specialist provision
No child should have to leave Wales or lose their language to get the help they need.
