Amendment 133 in my name would ensure that the register also contains the previous address of the child if they have lived at their current address for less than 12 months. This amendment would support local authorities to request information from a child’s previous local authority when the child was in that authority’s children not in school register or living in that local authority’s area. This would have a particularly positive impact for children who move frequently across borders, as it would help ensure local authorities remained informed of the child’s support needs, educational circumstances and history, including any safeguarding concerns.
