Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson Criticizes Conservative Amendment to Children’s Wellbeing Bill
Bridget Phillipson, the UK Education Secretary, condemned the Conservative Party’s proposal to amend the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill, calling it ‘utterly sickening’ and politically motivated. She emphasized the importance of the legislation for child safeguarding and criticized attempts to halt its progress. The Conservatives also align with calls from entrepreneur Elon Musk for a new inquiry into child sexual abuse, despite the completion of an independent investigation in 2022.
