There is a huge crisis in the services for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. I've secured a debate in Parliament this week on this crisis. So many children are suffering and their families left totally exhausted by this situation. A lot of people have

There are days in politics that you are particularly proud of. Today is one of those, because we are debating the Great British Energy Bill in Parliament. This Government won a mandate for the first publicly-owned national energy company in 75 years. It will be owned by you

If government, parents & schools work together, children thrive. I'll hold up my end of the deal: to roll out breakfast clubs, mental health support, curriculum reform, careers advice, better SEND provision. My ask is simple: help children into school. mumsnet.com/talk/guest_pos…

“We also found that stress was predicted by external sources of autism acceptance. Arguably, it is stressful to not be accepted by others. In the social psychology literature, social support has been shown to protect against stress.” link.springer.com/article/10.100…
