There are also some technical issues around Amendments 20 and 25. They would have the effect of revoking the relevant agency status of other bodies which are not education and childcare agencies, such as health and social care and youth justice. This would undermine the multiagency safeguarding landscape, which is critical to keeping children safe. But the key point is the one I have made about the nature of education and childcare and its ability to be a state statutory safeguarding partner in the way the legislation responsibilities require.
