WATCH: My Speech in the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill Debate
Yesterday, the Government introduced the single biggest piece of child protection legislation in a generation.
I spoke in support of the measures which will reform children's social care and increase support for care-leavers, improving outcomes for these children and young people and stopping taxpayers getting ripped off by private providers.
This Bill also includes:
Free breakfast clubs in primary schools
A limit on branded school uniform items
Stronger safeguards on home education
The strongest child protection reforms in a generation
An end to private providers charging local councils extortionate rates for children’s social care
Better support for care leavers
