SEND Provision

Contribution

My hon. Friend puts it very well; I could not agree more. There is an old saying that it takes a village to raise a child. Well, so many of the key services that we had in our communities to help support child development are on their knees due to austerity, and children are paying the price. Every MP in this House is aware that the special education needs and disability system has gone beyond crisis and is in emergency.
