Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 March 2026

Debate

Special Educational Needs: Dyscalculia

Contribution

I think it fair to say that the Government do not have immediate plans to change this. We want to make sure that all special needs are recognised and given the same exposure and understanding, so that the needs of the whole child can be considered. Obviously, certain conditions run alongside others, and we must make sure that we are not too narrow in our approach, but that is not to underestimate the amount of support that we know these children and young people need.
