Rachel Gilmour

Liberal Democrat — Tiverton and Minehead

Speaking in the House of Commons on 9 September 2025

Debate

Neurodivergent People: Employment

Contribution

Does my hon. Friend agree that Foxes hotel in my constituency of Minehead is a trailblazer? It is the UK’s only fully operating training hotel for young people with learning disabilities, many of whom have Down’s syndrome. It has shown that structured on-the-job training, dedicated mentorship and clear progression pathways not only transform individual lives but drive outstanding business outcomes. It has been described as the Oxbridge of training for such young people.
