The Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill passed its second reading in the House of Commons, despite a Conservative amendment calling for a national inquiry into grooming gangs being rejected. The Bill aims to standardize pay and conditions for teachers in all state schools, including academies, and ensure all schools teach the national curriculum.
The Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill cleared its first hurdle after MPs gave it a second reading in Parliament on Wednesday .
The Conservatives had tabled the motion to the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill demanding a new national inquiry into gangs which, if approved, would have prevented the legislation from making progress. But MPs voted to reject the motion by 364 votes to 111, majority 253. The Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill aims to ensure all state schools – academies and those run by councils – follow the same pay and conditions framework.
