Labour — Newcastle upon Tyne North

Speaking in the House of Commons on 4 November 2024

Debate

Special Educational Needs and Disabilities

Contribution

The hon. Gentleman raises an important point. It is vital for turning around the current situation faced by far too many parts of the country. There is not sufficient mainstream inclusion for children with special educational needs, there are not enough specialist units as part of mainstream school inclusion, and we do not have the specialist places needed, so I will, of course, take away the hon. Gentleman’s specific example.
