A great many parents and young people are concerned about the implications of the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill. Peers in the House of Lords have raised concerns about many aspects of the bill and, by doing so, have received a number of promises and reassurances from the Minister.
As parents are aware, legal advice is clear that some aspects of the Bill may be challengeable in Judicial Review and much of it is left to guidance and future regulation. Of course, regulation can be far more readily changed than primary legislation and guidance is changed even more easily than that. However, by having the information to hand, parents can be confident that they can raise concerns in an informed way.
We have collated these promises and reassurances in order that parents can hold the Minister to them. You can see the full list here. We are of course, monitoring the progress of the Bill and will update you when we have further information.
The links to the Hansard transcript of the debate in which these promises were made can be found here:
