I generally support this Bill and would have supported it unconditionally if it was not for this area. On well- being, I worked for many years, until he died, with Rabbi Pinter, who was the leader of the Haredi community on educational matters. There have been enormous steps forward in relation to home schooling, including internet packages. I am just assuring noble Lords that the parents of these children are absolutely committed to their well-being and their education. When it comes to safeguarding, there has been the most dramatic improvement in this: every place has a phone number and a designated officer. I can testify that there have been huge changes relating to the well-being of children and the safeguards around them. I really commend them for that.
