Wilson has engaged extensively on children's health and wellbeing through 40 debate speeches, with particular focus on education funding, special educational needs, and youth services. She has raised concerns about real-terms cuts to school sports funding, shortfalls in SEND provision support, and the need for improved parental leave pay to support families. She has also engaged on rare diseases including spinal muscular atrophy screening and brain cancer research funding, alongside support for care-experienced children and adoption reform.
