📚 I often hear from parents across Bassetlaw who feel the SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) system is letting their children down.
🧑🧑🧒 Right now, the system is not working as it should for many children or their families. The Government has said it wants to change the system so children can get the extra help and support they deserve.
👂 The public consultation about these changes has now been posted, and you can read more and share your views using the link below:
🌲 National Lottery Open Week is almost here!🌲

🏫 I have been contacted by a number of parents in Bassetlaw recently following the decision by the Australian government to ban social media for children under the age of 16. Over the last 18 months, I’ve visited many schools where teachers have told me again and again that social media can harm children’s confidence and make it harder for them to build good social skills.
📵 Because of this, I am minded to support a ban on social media for children under 16. In one of my recent surveys, more than 83% of respondents said they agree.
🗣️ The Government is now asking for your views on new rules that could limit social media for under 16s and you can share your views here: gov.uk/growing-up-online
Constituents contact me regularly about access to audiology in Bassetlaw, and I am listening. 👂🏼
🌍 On World Hearing Day, I want to learn more about what local people are going through when they try to get hearing appointments at Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals.
