“I will keep it brief. I have one short question for Tom and two follow-ups for Jill. Tom, ASCL’s submission to the curriculum review said that the examination system itself was partly to blame for the attainment gap. Can you tell us more about this?”

“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…”

“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…”

“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.
