Proceeding contribution from Baroness Barran (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 25 March 2026. It occurred during Debate on bill on Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill.


Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Can the noble Baroness acknowledge that in the case of Sara Sharif and many other children—she will be aware of the report into the 41 children who were home-educated and were either killed or seriously harmed—the current system clearly does not work and that this small but important loophole could be closed by my amendment? I would be grateful if she could confirm that that is this case.
