Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 July 2025

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

There will always be some children in home education who should not be there, who have been tipped out of mainstream education by their school or whose parents are setting out deliberately to fail to provide education. We absolutely need mechanisms that enable us to focus on those children. Adding burdens to the great majority of home educators who do it well is not the best way of achieving that aim; it merely diverts a lot of effort.
