Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Bill

I will quote from Lord Laming's report:""The future of SCRs depends, to a large degree, on the guarantee of confidentiality. Full reports should therefore remain confidential beyond the immediate partners involved in a case"." Lord Laming says that that is because SCRs""inevitably include a great deal of case material that should remain confidential, not only to protect vulnerable people but also because SCRs depend upon the cooperation of witnesses, often in a highly charged situation."" Once again, all I am doing is accepting Lord Laming's recommendation, supported by the NSPCC and the Deputy Children's Commissioner, but opposed by the Conservative party. One thing that is clear in this debate is that it opposes all the actions that we are taking to keep children safe. [Interruption.] It is very surprising indeed.
