Debate
Children’s Wellbeing and Schools BillContribution
To be absolutely clear on Amendment 15, of course all this is about best interests, but the assumption, particularly for a very young child, is that achieving permanence quickly is in their best interests—so it is a push for speedy permanence rather than a wider best interests test. With that, I beg leave to withdraw my amendment.
