Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 September 2025

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

Amendments 437 and 437A, in the names of the noble Lords, Lord Holmes of Richmond and Lord Agnew of Oulton, would broaden the requirement to be qualified to include those with other expertise or qualifications. I appreciate the noble Lords’ recognition of the value that experts from other professions can bring to the classroom. However, great teaching, as I have already said, relies on professional expertise that goes beyond subject knowledge.
