Children’s Wellbeing and Schools BillContribution
Amendment 57 seeks to guard against the risk of information being attached to the wrong child when using a consistent identifier.

We have heard how, in previous tragic cases, the problem was caused by the use of the wrong identification or the information not being recorded correctly.
