Gregory Stafford

Conservative — Farnham and Bordon

Speaking in the House of Commons on 1 December 2025

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

I am grateful to my hon. Friend for outlining the situations in which his constituents find themselves, as mine do in many cases. Is he as concerned as I am that mandatory registration for home education essentially risks treating every parent as a potential safeguarding concern, rather than recognising the fact that they are doing their absolute best for their children? They absolutely want to comply with the law and should not be treated as criminals in the first instance.
