Labour — Newcastle upon Tyne North

Speaking in the House of Commons on 21 July 2025

Debate

SEND: Education, Health and Care Plans

Contribution

Given the “lose, lose, lose” system that the last Government left behind—in their own words—we are working hard to reform the system so that every child can achieve and thrive. Any reform will be guided by how we improve support for children with SEND. There will always be a legal right to additional support, which this Government will protect.
