Talking SEND reform, this time closer to home at Sunningdale School with school leaders from the specialist sector.
We’ve inherited a ‘lose, lose, lose’ system in the Tories’ own words but I’m determined to grip the issue, both across the country and for local families.
We’ve taken crucial first steps in my first two months, restructuring the Department to change its approach to SEND. I know there’s still a long way to go to restore parents’ trust that their child will get the support they need – but my priority is to make you feel seen and heard.
