Topical Questions

Contribution

I recognise what the hon. Gentleman has said, because I have spoken to so many parents, families and children across the country who have been badly let down by a system that has not put children’s needs first. We are determined to change that through the once-in-a-generation SEND reforms that we are setting out. I am glad to hear that he held an event in his constituency, and I encourage all Members to make sure that parents, educators and others share their views as part of our consultation.
