Speaking in the House of Lords on 28 January 2026

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

Amendments 138 and 148 will ensure that parents, in circumstances where home-educated children may attend many providers for short periods of time that change regularly, are not overburdened by having to provide information on every provider, while still ensuring that local authorities have information on individuals and organisations providing a significant proportion of the child’s education. Amendment 138 will further streamline requirements by limiting the information that parents must provide to a provider’s name and address, avoiding the collection of unnecessary personal data. Amendment 170 is consequential to Amendments 138 and 148.
