🚨 New SEND Rescue Plan Launched 🚨
At the Lib Dem Spring Conference, I proudly backed our party’s bold new plan to fix the SEND (special educational needs and disabilities) crisis. Families in Torbay and across the UK deserve far better than the neglect they’ve faced for years.
Our plan includes: ✅ Mandatory SEND training for all teachers to improve inclusion in mainstream schools. ✅ Accelerating the development of state-funded special needs schools to boost capacity and end long commutes for children. ✅ Urgent action to support councils stretched to their limits.
Too many families are fighting uphill battles to get their children the education they deserve. It’s time for drastic reform to ensure every child has access to the right education.
The Liberal Democrats are standing up for children, parents, and teachers. Let’s end the SEND crisis for good. 💪
