Speaking in the House of Lords on 20 May 2025

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

First, I turn to Amendments 3 and 12, tabled by the noble Baroness, Lady Stedman-Scott, and my noble friend Lady Armstrong of Hill Top. This is a specific element of the important theme that there has been through this group, about the views of young people, and I will come back to that again later. I wholeheartedly agree that the views of the young people concerned should be taken very seriously in the process of family group decision-making. Where they wish to initiate a family group decision-making process in order to seek the support of their wider family, this should be taken seriously and supported whenever possible.
