Speaking in the House of Lords on 30 October 2025

Debate

National Curriculum: Religious Education

Contribution

It is a very wide-ranging subject, and students also need to be taught to have critical appreciation of what they read in the media, for example. We need to make sure that every aspect of the curriculum picks up on the points my noble friends have raised, but there are other aspects in schools such as restorative practice, resilience, and nurturing and supporting young people wherever they are, as well as the subjects that are taught through the curriculum. We are going through a very difficult time, and we owe it to all our young people to make sure they get the support and subject input they need.
