A very welcome announcement from the Secretary of State for Education @bphillipsonMP this evening - She is committing to proper training for new teachers to get better support and outcomes for children from Sep 2025.
This is a start. #ComeOnBridget
Big news from @bphillipsonMP! £200m for SEND training for all educators - and it will be mandatory. It’s not everything - but it’s a proper good start.
So let’s make that as impactful as possible - training AND early screening. So teachers have both the skills and the insight they need to deploy that support, care and attention in the right way. JO x
Backed by £200m, we’re rolling out the biggest SEND teacher training programme ever — with SEND training required for every teacher.
As @jamieoliver helped shine a light on, our amazing teachers need the right training to support every child with SEND. And that's what we'll do.
I've just signed the UK's first-ever voice petition!🎧🗣
The @BDAdyslexia, @jamieoliver and Spotify have launched the UK’s first-ever voice petition, because we don't all communicate the same way.

Wow, what a throwback! Eight years ago I teamed up with the @DailyMirror to launch a campaign to stop the sale of energy drinks to kids… and FINALLY it looks like the government is going to do just that! They also want it to go further, by protecting everyone under the age of 18...
Energy drinks are flashy and clever, designed to pull kids in, but really they are harmful and children shouldn’t be drinking them. It’s taken way too long, but let’s make sure it’s done right and the best it can be! For OUR kids! @wesstreeting make this happen properly! JO xX

The stories so many of you have shared in response to Jamie’s Dyslexia Revolution - about your own journeys, struggles, and strengths - have been powerful, emotional, and deeply moving.
If you’ve got something to say about dyslexia or neurodiversity—whether it’s your own experience, a frustration, or a big idea—please share it with @bphillipsonMP with the hashtag #ComeOnBridget and let her know that change is needed!
