Children’s Wellbeing and Schools BillContribution
Yes, the new guidance at least gives parents the right to see what their own child is being taught, which is welcome, but individual parents should not need to keep constant watch over teaching materials. We need more visibility and wider public discussion about what is being taught to children to make sure that unsuitable materials are identified and that it is easy for schools to know this and to avoid those programmes.
