BARNSLEY South MP Stephanie Peacock has vowed to support families with children who have special educational needs.

It comes after the government announced a number of new schemes – including £740m to create thousands of specialist places – to support SEND children.

Ms Peacock said: “I know that SEND provision is a real concern across Barnsley.

“I have previously held a public meeting for local parents of children with SEND, met with the local council, and raised this matter in Parliament.”
