Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 March 2026

Debate

Special Educational Needs: Dyscalculia

Contribution

My noble friend touches on a really important issue, that of transition to different stages of education, when too many children and young people are extremely vulnerable. It is a broad area—the whole idea of rolling out restorative practice throughout schools, so that there is a much better understanding of behaviour, what has triggered it, and what support can be given. Too many young people have been let down when an assumption has been made that their bad behaviour is due to their personality, rather than any particular condition they might be facing.
