Speaking in the House of Lords on 14 January 2026
Debate
Children’s Wellbeing and Schools BillContribution
Of course, one of the challenges facing us is the gap in school census data on how many kinship carers we have. So, I am pleased to share that the Department for Education is planning to add kinship to the school census data collection. Improved data on children living in kinship arrangements will support future policy development, and we will be happy to return to the House in due course to provide further updates.
