Withdraw the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill
- 159,977 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 166,871 - 1,350 added in the past 24hrs)
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 If it is not withdrawn, we believe it may cause more harm to children and their educational opportunities than it helps
