Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 September 2025

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

Experts in this field tell me that such naivety of strategy indicates the unfamiliarity that advocates have with the challenges of working with these children. Rather, we need to learn from the best pupil referral units and alternative provision schools and ensure that their pupils do attend daily and, when they are there, that they get a full day of education because they need that structure and support perhaps more than the average child.
