"Some 1-in-5 children struggle with speech & language, often due to socioeconomic disadvantage, neurodivergence, or developmental language disorder. Here's what's needed": our @IPPR 'Talking Inclusion' podcast with @Jane_Harris77, CEO of @SpeechAndLangUK: https://t.co/yS0kt9aey1

The first objective of any reform to the SEND system is to improve outcomes for children who have been let down for far too long. We're listening and we're acting.

We will build a support-first system where every child can achieve and thrive.

In September, I'll be running The Big Half to support @SpeechAndLangUK , a charity helping CYP with speech, language and communication needs.

Every donation, big or small, makes a difference.

We know good practice that properly supports children with SEND exists, but for far too many families that’s not their experience.

We must spread the best practice and build excellence for every child, everywhere.

A better system is possible.

Great to speak with @DCPcampaign

Thank you Baroness @GlenysThornton for the kind words!

Speech and language development should be definitely be in the Children's Wellbeing Bill, given that a record-high 2M children in the UK now have speech and language challenges😞https://t.co/YMTr9J5ByR

🎙️ This morning, our CEO Jane and teacher Lauren joined BBC 5 Live Breakfast to discuss why our new campaign, #SupportNotSanctions, is so important — and why reform is needed in schools to make them fair for all children.

🤯 78% of teachers say children with speech & language challenges are being unfairly punished! This is unacceptable. We urgently need inclusive school behaviour policies. Government MUST act NOW & invest in these children's futures! #SpeechAndLanguage #SupportnotSanctions

I really enjoyed the opportunity to sit on the panel at the book launch of ‘The A-Z of Special Educational Needs’ by @Maslen and Lindsay Cooper Smith. Thank you for having me! If you’ve not read this book and you work in education, then it is a must! 🙌

[Speech and Language UK @SpeechAndLangUK]

The interim curriculum review is a downright scandal.

Why promise to embed vital speaking skills into the curriculum, then fail to make good at such a critical opportunity?

The futures of our nation's children hang in the balance. Govt. must fix this!
