To Bridget Phillipson and the Department for Education: stop children being unfairly punished in schools

Support not sanctions

We’ve just revealed that 78% of teachers say children with speech and language challenges are being unfairly punished 😠

There’s a simple solution. We are calling for urgent reform to ensure school behaviour policies are inclusive, especially for children with speech and language challenges.

The Government MUST act immediately and invest in children’s futures:

  • 1

    Train every teacher to recognise and support children with speech and language challenges.

  • 2

    Revise government guidance for schools to develop behaviour policies to ensure children with speech and language challenges aren't unfairly punished.

  • 3

    Provide teachers with proven tools to help children communicate effectively.

  • 4

    Implement group programmes for children struggling with their speech and language at every key stage.
