The right help as early as possible is the best thing that we can do both for children, for schools and for the economy.

And, you know, making mainstreams genuinely more inclusive will help many children and young people.

But again, it can't be a tokenistic effort.

It has to actually be what they need.

And I think that's what this white paper really, really comes down to.

One of the biggest issues for me is that, you know, this is a very vulnerable group of people and these rights are a very hard one.

And

I find it concerning that the wider public isn't more troubled by just the idea that we might start stripping legal rights away from some of the most vulnerable children in our country.

And I appreciate it doesn't affect everybody, but it could affect any of you.

Whether you have children or not, it will affect children in their class.

If you do have children, it might affect your child in the future, even if they're not...

currently disabled, disability can be acquired or needs can become more apparent as time goes on.

What other rights are people willing to give up in the name of saving some money?

And there is really no other part of society where we look at legal rights, not maternity, not employment, not finance or anything, and we say, actually, those rights are just costing us too much money, so we should get rid of them.

We need to all sit back and think, what are our rights worth to us, really?

And which of my rights will they come after if they take these away and there isn't a strong response to it?

But I think there will be a very strong response if they go that way.
