Parliament has debated this petition: "Withdraw the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill"

#PetitionDebated
Debated: Withdraw the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill
We call on the Government to withdraw the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill. We believe it downgrades education for all children, and undermines educators and parents. If it is not withdrawn, we believe it may cause more harm to children and their educational opportunities than it helps
