Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 September 2025

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

Building whole-school systems that offer preferential treatment for the minority of violent and chaotic children at the expense of the vast majority of children—who are also potentially vulnerable, and who also deserve dignity, safety, and a calm learning environment—is an insult to the principle of good governance and, ironically, helps neither category of child. Every child matters, which means that every child matters equally.
