Labour — Dulwich and West Norwood

Speaking in the House of Commons on 13 October 2025

Debate

Education Committee

Contribution

My hon. Friend is right. As we made clear in our report, there are pockets of very good delivery—there are schools, local authorities and professionals across the system that are doing their best—but there is a postcode lottery in SEND, sometimes even within different schools that are very close to each other. We need a whole-system reset so that we can secure consistent delivery for all children, wherever they live.
