MP URGES GOVERNMENT TO COMMIT TO TACKLE ‘CRISIS'
A PLYMOUTH MP has witnessed the challenges faced at a local school that caters for children and young adults with complex needs.
The newly elected MP for Plymouth Moor View, Fred Thomas, has put SEND provision in Plymouth on the political agenda in Westminster, speaking in a Parliamentary debate about the ‘huge challenges’ inherited from the last government.
In the debate, the Labour MP welcomed Plymouth City Council’s new plan to increase specialist school places for children as an important step forward in delivering for children with special needs and disabilities.
