Review and reform education system to support neurodivergent children in schools
I want the government to review and reform mainstream education so neurodivergent children are understood, supported, and included — with trained teachers, sensory-friendly classrooms, proper funding, and accountability under the Equality and Disability Acts.
Review access to mental health care for children & YP with learning disabilities
Conduct a review of current provision and make sure that children & young people with learning disabilities have equal access to mental health care. This group are at greater risk of mental health illness and need specialist support.
Review guidance on school behaviour policy to support mental health & inclusion
We call on the Government to launch a review of the statutory guidance on school behaviour policies which looks into ending any punitive measures and investing in restorative, trauma-informed approaches.
Fund primary pupil assessments for ADHD before secondary school
Fund mandatory ADHD and learning-needs assessments for all pupils in England before they start secondary school, so every child’s learning profile is understood and supported early, improving education and wellbeing outcomes.
