Proceeding contribution from John Bercow (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 28 November 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Speech and Language Difficulties (Education).


Speech and Language Difficulties (Education)

My hon. Friend will be aware that under the Education and Inspections Act 2006 provision is made for a review of training for ordinary staff and potentially for special educational needs co-ordinators. Is he aware that, in the other place on 31 October, Baroness Sharp of Guildford asked Lord Adonis for a commitment that SENCO training should include some knowledge of and experience in speech, language and communication difficulties? Lord Adonis said that the Government would certainly look at that. Does he not need to do so now and reach an affirmative conclusion sooner rather than later?
