Speaking in the House of Lords on 18 September 2025

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

Crucially, these amendments would introduce a duty of disclosure: no longer could a school withhold teaching materials from proper scrutiny when a complaint is being considered. This simple measure would bring a vital dose of transparency, helping prevent secretive approaches to sensitive subjects. Incidentally, as noble Lords will know, on Tuesday, I supported my noble friend Lord Sandhurst’s excellent Amendments 466 and 467, which sought to provide a clear and proportionate solution to the problem of transparency.
