  7. Member's statement: SEN Placements

    • Members' Statements

    It is time to move to a SEN-first approach to school placements. Last week, I met children who attend Greenwood Assessment Centre and their parents.

  8. Debate contribution: Sentencing Practices in Northern Ireland

    • Private Members' Business

    I will go down a different route in my remarks. It is crucial that our justice system has children and young people at its heart, with a rights-based approach. I am mindful that the North has one of the lowest ages of criminal responsibility in the world. Our law states that the youngest age at which a child can be…

  19. Debate contribution: Online Harms: Impact on Young People

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for proposing the motion. It is a timely and important topic. Before I start, I will say that I was not getting into a back-and-forth argument; I was just making the point that smartphones can be used for good in education. We know that educators and pupils use them. That was the point that I was…

  20. Debate contribution: Online Harms: Impact on Young People

    • Private Members' Business

    That is not what I said at all. You would agree with me that early intervention is key, but your budgets are tight and you were not able to extend counselling to primary schools. My point about mobile phone pouches and the £220,000 for just nine schools, when you have a capital shortfall of £83 million, was that it is…

    • Private Members' Business

    Does the Member agree that, given the cost of a quarter of a million pounds for just 10 schools, it will cost multimillions of pounds for that scheme to be rolled out? Given the budgetary information that we got last week, which made us aware that savings of over £300 million will be needed next year, that seems…

    Does the Member agree that smartphones and apps are useful tools for educators and pupils, and that the onus should be more on us, as parents, to educate ourselves, particularly around the new incel subculture and the language of 80:20, black pill and kidney beans? We need to learn all that. Responsibility for that…
