Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Debate between Baroness Bull and Lord Addington

Monday 23rd June 2025 Lords Chamber

[Lord Addington (LD)]

There is a great way of discovering that you have no dyscalculia or dyslexia—Japan did it. They just did not recognise the words.

[Baroness Bull (CB)]

The noble Lord returns to a theme he has raised before.

To conclude, children have 13 precious years to gain the knowledge and the skills that will set them up for their adult lives. All children need to be ready to take advantage of that from day 1, including children who learn differently and therefore need different support from the very beginning.
