see the minutes of this very valuable opportunity to listen to a rising star of the Labour party. By the end of the session he had been promoted to shadow secretary of state for Northern Ireland.
A small group of Fabian Education Group members met with Helen Hayes MP on the afternoon of Monday 28th February. Helen is the Shadow Secretary of State for Children and Families. Core issues in her remit include SEND, early years provision, and alternative provision. The discussion covered topics ranging from inclusion matters; the needs of disabled children; Education, Health and Care Plans; knowledge sharing among teaching professionals in SEND and Early Years; and initiatives set up under the previous Labour government that could be recommissioned under a new Labour administration.
