Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 September 2025

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

Pupil referral units and alternative provision schools are similar to intensive care or high dependency units in hospitals, where the students presenting the most challenge receive the high-intensity support and the boundaries that they so badly need. To reduce these vital institutions would condemn schools to enormous violence and chaos and damage the very children who could no longer access them.
