Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 April 2026

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

The Government also consider that the enforcement of any new regulatory requirements should be for a regulator, rather than for parents and guardians to seek through the courts. Placing responsibility for enforcement will be complex, cumbersome and expensive, and it will also benefit only the few children who have parents or guardians willing to spend the significant resources required to pursue these claims. When potential criminal activity is being threatened and there are imminent risks, that is also a matter for the police.
