To start a petition?

In England children cannot be assessed for ADHD until they are six years old. Regardless of their behaviour, their level of violence, nothing matters. AIBU to start a petition to have this changed?? I'm currently dealing with a very angry violent five year old who regularly hurts his siblings - one of which has severe learning difficulties - doesn't sleep much, hurts himself regularly as well as others and is getting worse as time goes on 😞

I'm not sure whether a petition would help but others here could offer advice if you could tell us a little bit more about your child and what you've tried so far.
It sounds like a very hard situation

There is no point in assessing before 6 years old as the assessment would be unreliable
