Motion Amendment TextLeave out all after ‘schools;’ and insert: ‘commends the efforts of education workers in the SEND sector, who go above and beyond for the children they care for and educate; recognises the incredibly difficult circumstances that they work in on a day and daily basis; further notes that declining real-terms pay has compounded the recruitment and retention crisis facing the sector; further recognises that support staff have not had their right to a 52-week contract honoured; further commends those education workers who took part in strike action in pursuit of investment in our children’s education and further commits to meeting the pay and grading demands of those workers; and calls on the Minister of Education to prioritise and invest in SEND transformation, to ensure that the End to End Review of Special Educational Needs produces an action plan that will be implemented urgently, and to make a commitment that all children with SEND in key transition years are notified of a school placement which meets their needs no later than children without special educational needs.’
