Speaking in the House of Lords on 2 September 2025

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

I am looking for something that fits these two sides and a bit more about the support that can be expected. I put “expected”, but in the Bill at the moment parents can “request” and the local authority will decide whether it will provide. There should be a reasonable list of support. There should also be a reasonable expectation of the need to develop a relationship and to understand that this is quite a different area. We have had reference to people with special educational needs, to Gypsy, Roma and Traveller people, and to a whole range of different people who at the moment come under the umbrella of elective home education.
