SEND Provision (14 Mar 2024)

Munira Wilson: ...last week from a Shropshire councillor, and it strikes me as a real anomaly, and waste in the system that Ministers could easily address without spending more money. I was told that a statement of special need issued in one nation of the UK cannot be passported to another. If a child with an EHCP in England moves across the border to Wales, that EHCP is not recognised, and vice versa, and...

Miscellaneous (23 Jan 2024)

Emma Hardy: ..., and is unable to go to school—in some cases, they do not even feel able to leave their house. As has been mentioned by Members from across the House, it can be because of an undiagnosed special need and the fact that the family have been waiting for two years for the EHCP that they see as their golden ticket to finally getting the help that their child needs. What happens when these...

SEND Provision and Funding (11 Jan 2024)

Matthew Hancock: ...equality of opportunity in this country. However, what leads to the disparity we see in the data of who gets a diagnosis is if we say, “You can have universal education, but if your child has a special need, you can pay £600 to get them identified, which will make it more likely they will get the EHCP, and therefore much more state money following them. If you don’t have the £600, or...

Backbench Business: Tax-free Shopping for International Visitors — [Dr Rupa Huq in the Chair] ( 7 Sep 2023)

Tan Dhesi: ...made clear, the publication of official independent statistics on this issue commissioned by the Government is long overdue. Manifestly, businesses across our country—although there is a special need for those concentrated close to our airports and in visitor hotspots—need a supportive and stable Government able to provide certainty for the future. Stability and certainty are crucial...

Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill - Committee (4th Day): Amendment 81 ( 6 Mar 2023)

Baroness Ludford: ...not to “unduly restrict the proper development of the law” with “too rigid adherence to precedent.” They are conducting that balancing exercise, but they drew particular attention to the special need for certainty in the law. Therefore, they gave legal certainty a particular value which must not be overlooked.

Written Answers — Department of Health and Social Care: Skin Diseases: General Practitioners (29 Sep 2022)

Scottish Affairs Committee: NHS PPE Supply Chains: Forced Labour (14 Jul 2022)

Jim Shannon: ...; I spoke about it in the Chamber and I welcomed the Government’s commitment. It is important that we do not forget why it was needed. The covid-19 pandemic was a national emergency and a time of special need—a time when the Government, the Prime Minister and the Ministers responsible had to respond urgently to the national and global emergency. There was suddenly an unprecedented need...

Affordable Housing (Devon and Cornwall) — [Stewart Hosie in the Chair] (27 Apr 2022)

Luke Pollard: ...holiday lets or empty homes. I agree with the suggestion made by my constituency neighbour, the hon. Member for South West Devon, about an urgent housing conference in the south-west. There is a special need for it, because the south-west is experiencing this problem ahead of many other regions, notwithstanding the constituency of our Lib Dem friend from Cumbria, the hon. Member for...

British and Overseas Judges: Hong Kong: Carer’s Allowance — [Hannah Bardell in the Chair] (30 Mar 2022)

John Martin McDonnell: ...the way in which their lives have been transformed by the altruistic act of caring for someone else. The carers in the group are, basically, families looking after a child with a disability or a special need, or families looking after an elderly relative. What is also remarkable is the number of the children who look after others in their families. What came across in the group is that...

Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Review (29 Mar 2022)

James Wild: I know from visits to primary schools in my constituency—and the Green Paper underlines this—that the most common special need that people have in respect of speech and language therapy is access. Given the importance of communication skills to young people’s development, may I ask how the proposals in the Green Paper will improve access to those vital skills?

Higher Education Reform - Statement (28 Feb 2022)

Baroness Barran: ...trying to improve outcomes for pupils with special educational needs and the noble Lord will be aware of the enormous range of outcomes depending on which school a child with the same disability or special need goes to. We want to equalise those, so it should make no difference where a child goes to school in terms of their outcomes. If I may continue, the noble Baroness questioned what we...

Prime Minister: Engagements ( 5 Jan 2022)

Liz Saville-Roberts: ...indefinitely when she is moved into an EMI, or elderly mentally infirm, nursing home. John’s Campaign has successfully campaigned in every UK nation that people disabled by dementia have a special need for person-centred care—under the Equality Act 2010—but in reality there remain many care homes and hospitals where even the most minimal visits can be denied, leading to isolation and...

Public Bill Committee: Skills and Post-16 Education Bill [Lords]: Clause 19 - Initial teacher training for further education ( 7 Dec 2021)

Toby Perkins: ...who do not have the need to have that awareness.

Investing in Children and Young People ( 9 Jun 2021)

Tom Hunt: ...speak to that, because the stakes could not be higher. On the Education Committee, we have just launched an inquiry into prison education. It is thought that 35% of those in prison have some kind of special need. Actually, the figure will be far higher, because we are not diagnosing properly every prisoner going into the system. The reality is that the figure could even be higher than 50%....

Paul Givan: ...walk. I have achieved both and now I am in university." Kirsty now has a baby boy of her own. Let me tell you about Clara. He mum says and says honestly: "hearing that your unborn baby would have a special need was very, very frightening." However, she also says: “[t]he love we have for Clara is immense, she is her own little character, she’s funny, happy, mischievous, and knows what...

Scottish Parliament: Sustainable Aviation beyond Covid-19 (16 Sep 2020)

Patrick Harvie: ...remain at risk. Michael Matheson and Colin Smyth both made that point, as did many other members. Another point of agreement is that our remote, rural and, in particular, island communities have a special need for aviation in order to stay connected with the rest of Scotland, let alone the wider world. Sarah Boyack and Alasdair Allan were among the members who mentioned that. In addition,...

School Exclusions — [Mr Peter Bone in the Chair] (26 Feb 2020)

Sarah Jones: ...responses, but I do not have time, which is a great shame. I will pass them all to the Minister, and will publish them in some way. Children are more likely to be excluded if they are poor, have a special need, live in a deprived area or are black, and they are then more likely to go into crime. I thank the Minister for his response, but—

NHS: Dentistry Services - Motion to Take Note (25 Jul 2019)

Lord Storey: ...disabilities, autism or special needs. I had not thought about that, but I should have thought that part of a dentist’s training should be in treating people who are autistic or have a particular special need, or that there were, as there are in America, child-friendly practices and practices which can cope with people with special needs. We can eradicate tooth decay. It is very simple...

1. Questions to the First Minister: Supporting Carers (16 Jul 2019)

Mark Drakeford: Well, Llywydd, I suppose I respond in two ways: first of all by acknowledging what we know about the impact that caring for a child with any form of disability or special need has on family life, and to put in place the services that we know are needed to help those families to go on doing the thing that they almost always want to do the most, and that is to go on having care of that child....
