Proceeding contribution from Kelvin Hopkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 1 February 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Special Educational Needs (Information) Bill.


Special Educational Needs (Information) Bill

The hon. Gentleman is making an excellent speech with which I strongly agree. He talked about far-sighted local officers. Some officers, indeed probably many, are prejudiced in these matters and refuse to take special educational needs seriously because they do not believe that there is really a problem. Frequently they blame poor teaching or poor parenting when in fact there is something specific to the child on which proper support is needed.
