Over 120 organisations have joined a joint call, coordinated by the Children’s Rights Alliance for England (part of Just for Kids Law), UNICEF UK and NSPCC for the Children’s Charities Coalition, to strengthen children’s rights in the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill. The child rights amendments were debated in the House of Lords at Committee Stage on Thursday 18 September, with strong cross-party support and powerful contributions from Peers including former Children’s Commissioner for England, Baroness Longfield. While the Government did not accept the amendments, the debate marked the most extensive discussion on children’s rights in Parliament in years — and the campaign continues.
