The Bishop of Norwich asked a question on whether dyscalculia would be included in the work of inclusion hubs on 10th March 2026, during a discussion on special educational needs:
The Lord Bishop of Norwich: My Lords, I am grateful to the Minister for the answers she has given, but I will probe a bit further in two areas. Will dyscalculia be included in the core work of the inclusion hubs that are suggested as a requirement for all secondary schools in the schools White Paper? To what extent will the newly announced “experts at hand” funding specifically be used to address support for children with this condition?
Baroness Blake of Leeds (Lab, Government Whip): I will repeat what I have said, and emphasise that the national inclusion standards cover all areas. We need to have universal approaches as well as the tools and approaches to identify and respond to the needs. Of course, dyscalculia is an important consideration, as are all the other conditions our young people face. That is how we are moving forward—to make sure that every young person’s needs are recognised and dealt with in an appropriate way, in order to give them the absolute maximum support to enable them to succeed.
