Exactly Laura, according to Amber Rudd all that is needed is reassurance! About what with the state of play being we just don't know enough to give that reassurance!.
It’s pretty sick that the politicians who voted against disadvantaged children by supporting the cuts to welfare and support on over 50occasions are suddenly concerned about them. They’re not btw-they just want their parents back at work and want to make teachers feel guilty.
