Democratic Unionist Party — Strangford

Speaking in the House of Commons on 31 October 2024

Debate

SEND Provision: Hampshire

Contribution

The Minister has very kindly given us some hope about the way forward. I should have mentioned the Department for Work and Pensions earlier. It is important that parents are aware of all the help in the system—for instance, there is disability living allowance. Whenever somebody comes to me with a child who has experienced educational issues, I always ask them, “Are you aware that there is a system set up to help you?” Is that something we should emphasise a wee bit more strongly?
