Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 June 2025

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

In so far as it has worked, it has worked extremely well. It means that a child has, from the moment that he or she comes to this country and is identified as a possible slave, somebody behind them for the rest of the time they have to go through the whole system. I entirely agree with the noble Baroness, Lady Lister, that social workers would not do, particularly because social workers change all the time. One of the most important things about the child’s guardian is that he or she is there all the time.
