These new places will only help children struggling to talk and understand words if they come with speech and language therapists and specialist teachers. Buildings don’t teach children, people do. And only people with the right training and skills can change children’s lives.

Great news!🥳 Many parents and young people will be glad that the Government has promised to keep tribunals – because all children need legal a way to get an education when the system fails them. https://t.co/R4GhsYNWRC

This is unacceptable. We already know children with speech and language challenges are being unfairly punished at school. Two million children are facing this – children need support, not sanctions. ✍️ Sign our petition and change this today! https://t.co/dXb7ZvMXV6
