Amazon Music Special Episode - Children's Wellbeing & Schools Bill - Don't Panic!
In this conversation, Kelly Rigg and Wendy Charles-Warner are aiming to reassure you that whilst it is important not to panic about the implications of the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill, it is important to take on an advocating role.
They address the anxiety surrounding the bill, the misconceptions about home education, and the statistics that highlight the quality of education and safeguarding in both home-educated and school settings. The conversation emphasizes the need for parents to engage with their MPs and advocate for their rights and the well-being of their children. The discussion emphasizes the role of parents in teaching consent and critical thinking, the limitations of institutional safeguarding, and the bureaucratic challenges that come with home education. Ultimately, they encourage parents to empower themselves and engage with educational policy to ensure their children's well-being.
