Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 June 2025
Debate
Children’s Wellbeing and Schools BillContribution
We talk a lot in this House about the voice of the child, but these are children who are silent. Some two-thirds of children deprived of their liberty in July and August 2022 were still subject to a deprivation of liberty order almost six months later—so not only are they silent and silenced, but they are so for a long time.
