Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 November 2025
Debate
Crime and Policing BillContribution
The noble Baroness, Lady Featherstone, made a number of very important points on training and protection. Everyone who is responsible for the safety and well-being of children should receive appropriate training on what they should do in relation to encountering child sexual abuse. It is not appropriate to enshrine this in legislation, but I take on board what she said. We will reflect on the points that she made and work with regulators and professional standards bodies to ensure that we communicate those issues ahead of implementation. I am happy to talk to her about this outside the Chamber.
