Schools (Recording and Reporting of Seclusion and Restraint) (England) Regulations 2025Contribution
Similarly, in assuming that only two teachers in each school receive two hours of training, it is likely that the assessment has materially underestimated the administrative time and cost of the new training, which the noble Lord, Lord Lucas, put a figure on and the noble Lord, Lord Mohammed, also referred to. It takes more than 30 seconds to two minutes to report these incidents. We should never be in a situation where serious disruption goes unchecked because a teacher is worried about repercussions; nor do we wish for an unexpected and overly burdensome cost on schools because the Government have unintentionally not costed the policy correctly. We would be most grateful if the Minister could provide detail on these key shortfalls in the impact assessment, highlighted so well by noble Lords.
