“Let down by the system and constantly feeling tired of fighting a never-ending battle.”
That’s how, one of my constituents, Megan, described her experience of the SEND system to me. Last month I held a consultation on SEND, which was attended by over 60 parents, children and practitioners.

Women are now 46% of the Parliamentary Labour Party – partly as a result of the work of Labour Women's Network, who gave me the support and training I needed to put myself forward. I was really glad to pay that support back by speaking at their rally at the Labour Party Conference!
