Bridget Phillipson, UK Education Secretary, criticized Conservative attempts to amend the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill, calling it “sickening.” The amendment seeks a new inquiry into grooming gangs despite a seven-year review concluding in 2022. Phillipson emphasized the bill's importance for child safeguarding, including oversight of home-schooling and private institutions. Labour opposes the amendment, citing delays to necessary reforms.
