Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 February 2026

Debate

Better Start Longitudinal Programmes

Contribution

My Lords, while I welcome today’s announcement about protecting special educational needs funding, I would like to ask about support for very young children with special needs and those with physical disabilities. Parents often find it difficult to find an early-years place or childcare suitable for these special children. Can the Minister point them towards any real, properly funded, properly resourced help from people with the right training looking after these special children?
