Labour — Newcastle upon Tyne North

Speaking in the House of Commons on 21 July 2025

Debate

Children with SEND

Contribution

We have yet to decide on the future of education, health and care plans, but we are extremely focused on strengthening the support system so that every child can receive timely, high-quality help. We will set out further details about our approach to special educational needs in this autumn’s White Paper. In the meantime, obviously, children should be getting the support they need, and we are putting in the groundwork so that more children can have that.
