Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 July 2025

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

There is a real risk in making flexi-schooling more difficult for no good reason. It is a hybrid model of education that can meet the needs of numerous children and families whose needs are not being met in full-time school and for whom full-time home education is perhaps not a viable alternative, for whatever reason. Equally, it may also be a way to help some children to continue to access a school-based education, at least part time, in an achievable way. Otherwise, they might feel forced to choose home education against their preference.
