Speaking in the House of Lords on 14 January 2026

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

It is a key principle that the creation of a family plan through the family group decision-making process should be family led. The Families First Partnership (FFP) Programme Guide tells local authorities that, once the plan is agreed, safeguarding partnerships should commit to providing the support contained within it to the family network and it should be integrated into, and given sufficient weight within, family help and child protection plans.
