Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Catherine McKinnell and Jen Craft

Monday 4th November 2024 Commons Chamber

[Catherine McKinnell]

My hon. Friend is right to raise the priority of ensuring that children with special educational needs and disabilities are accommodated in mainstream schools with their friends whenever possible. We are ensuring that training is available from the earliest possible stage so that those in the workforce can teach children with SEND, and that educational psychology services are there to help schools to make any changes that are necessary. We want to work in partnership with the sector to secure the best outcomes for every child.
