Tories have brutally cut SEND funding – Angela Rayner

Angela Rayner MP, the Shadow Secretary of State for Education, responding to news from The National Deaf Children’s Society on SEND, said:

“In the past eight years the Tories have brutally cut SEND funding and as a result the system for supporting deaf children has been left completely devastated.

"My promise to deaf children and their parents all over the country is that I understand your concerns, and I will do everything I can to support you.”

“The next Labour government will create a genuinely inclusive National Education Service for all children. We will properly fund our schools and our councils so they can provide dedicated support for children with special educational needs and disabilities, and tackle the scandal of children who are falling out of the education system altogether.”
