Government to withdraw the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill immediately, because it downgrades education for all children, undermines educators and parents. We think it will cause harm to children, with their details being digitally stored for anyone to use without permission.

We think the Bill is poorly drafted and is not supported by robust evidence. The impact assessments are inadequate. It will damage all children's educational opportunities. The Bill is silent on children’s voice and children's right to education. It undermines parents and school leaders. We think it forces a digital ID on children which is unethical and morally wrong. We do not want our children's personal and private details stored for anyone to use. This Bill is another form of control.
