Pause Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill for consultation with children

I believe decisions about children should include children. I want the Government to ask the Children’s Commissioner to consult children on the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill, and pause the Bill until the consultation finishes, including on data privacy & protecting the home as a safe space.

Young people demand that the Government pause the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill until children have been properly consulted. Children have the right to be heard on decisions that affect our lives. The Children’s Commissioner should listen directly to children, including on wellbeing, data privacy, and protecting the home as a safe and private space. Laws affecting children must not be passed without children’s voices.
