Catherine McKinnell

Labour — Newcastle upon Tyne North

Speaking in the House of Commons on 24 October 2024

Debate

Special Educational Needs and Disabilities

Contribution

My hon. Friend is absolutely right. This change needs to be delivered in conjunction with teachers, families, councils, educational psychologists and the health sector. We need to work together to ensure support is available at every stage. The system needs reform and significant change. We cannot carry on as we are with this “lose, lose, lose” system, which is letting down far too many families.
