Children’s Wellbeing and Schools BillContribution
Moving on to Amendments 43, 45 and 46, I noticed that Amendments 45 and 46 are very similar, although one—I have now forgotten which—includes “elder abuse” as well as children. The general theme of Amendments 45 and 46 seeks to broaden the information-sharing duty, or at least to pose questions about it, to consider the safety and welfare of others—not just the child—when sharing or receiving information. As the noble Baroness, Lady Barran, outlined, this is particularly relevant in cases involving domestic abuse.
