We call on the Government to commission an independent inquiry into the delivery of social work and social care services before making further progress on the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill.

Introduce Albanian GCSE and A-levels

We ask the Government to introduce GCSE and A-Level qualifications in the Albanian language. Thousands of children attend Albanian supplementary schools and would benefit from a nationally recognised qualification in their mother tongue.

All nannies, tutors and babysitters to have an enhanced DBS check.
