But parents who were at the debate said the minister’s plan lacked detail.Koreen Fisher, who was watching from the gallery in Westminster Hall, has a 10-year-old son with autism, ADHD, and a speech delay.

Parents can ask local authorities to assess their child and give them a specialist care plan to support their special educational needs in school.Ms Fisher said delays to her son’s care plan meant she could not apply to any secondary schools.When asked what she thought about the debate, she said: “Everybody seemed to be in agreement but nothing is being done.”

She said if teaching staff were given training and more resources, many children would be in mainstream schools.Louise Polkinghorne also has a son with SEND and attended the debate to hear what MPs had to say about the problems many families like hers encounter.

She said her son needs “one-to-one support at all times” in schools and she is trying to update his care plan to reflect that.

As for the debate, she said MPs were “all saying the right thing”.''People want things to get better, and people want to know that there is hope on the horizon," he said.

''They want to be convinced that their government will fight to make things better.''He said Reform were riding high but do not "really have any policies on which to be challenged or to be scrutinised".

The former minister said the challenge for Labour was "showing that change is on the horizon, change can be made and things will improve"."That is the confidence barrier politics needs to get through by the next Senedd elections," he said.
