Speeches by Sewards.

“Speaking about early intervention, I wanted to ask Janet about a couple of programmes that the Government have invested money in. What impact do you think they have had? The first is the early language support for every child programme or project and the second is the Nuffield Early Language Intervention project. Do yo…”

“That makes sense. You would want to see this rolled out everywhere?”

“That makes sense. What cross-departmental work needs to happen in order for it to be rolled out then?”

“I only have one question. The age at which young people transition from education, health and care services tends to be between 16 and 25. For most it is 18 but those with EHC plans can transition anywhere up to the age of 25. The County Councils Network and the local government authority have both called for the stand…”

“Thank you, nice and succinct.”

“I recently met a constituent at my surgery whose son has missed out on more than 800 hours of education. That is despite her attempts to find special educational provision for her son in 14 different schools across our region. She is now very concerned, because the council has said that he is at risk of criminal exploi…”

“1. What steps she is taking to help support SEND children not in full-time education.”

“I will focus right down then on industry placements and working with the industry. You all know how important it is that the industry placements feature in T-levels, and yet this Committee has heard evidence previously—Ofsted has also said—that the industry is not working as closely as it could be in the design and imp…”

“So you think that it is engaged enough in designing the T-levels?”

“Finally, David, on the planning and implementation of T-levels, are employers involved enough?”

“As a former maths teacher, these are things close to my heart. With time so short, I am going to skip to my last question. We have already touched on it. I think Emily mentioned it.

“There is no requirement to repeat any part of your previous answers, because we have touched on this before. The Government have said that removing the mandatory requirement to do maths and English for adult apprentices will boost skills, cut red tape and support employers.
