In thinking about how we go about this and who is involved, this is a good opportunity to remind the House that our consultation seeks views from those affected most by the issues we are discussing today: parents and children themselves. We have already received over 50,000 responses, with over 30,000 from parents and more than 7,000 from children. From the organisations that have responded, nearly half are educational organisations. That level of engagement demonstrates that this consultation is, above all, about putting children first and is engaging a broad range of people and organisations in getting it right.
