Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 September 2025

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

for all teaching staff to support children with SEND and neurodivergence. I know that a lot of schools provide such training, but it does not happen uniformly everywhere. I agree with everything that the noble Lord, Lord Addington, has said. It is absolutely essential that the educational difficulties that that group of children have are catered for in all schools. It is pointless making them all try to write essays based on a difficult book that they have read in their English class or the difficult algebra that many of us enjoyed as a pleasure while at school.
