Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Claire Young and Josh MacAlister

Monday 20th October 2025 Commons Chamber

[Josh MacAlister]

England is an international outlier by not requiring the registration of electively home-educated children, and we are remedying that with the Bill’s measures. Information on non-educational activities will not be required for inclusion in the registers. I will happily meet my hon. Friend to discuss this further.

[Claire Young (Thornbury and Yate) (LD)]

Time and again in my constituency surgeries, I hear stories of children’s needs going unrecognised and unsupported for years. Given the aim of increasing mainstream inclusion, what are the Government doing to ensure that all teachers receive comprehensive SEND training?
