Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Bill

I thank the Minister for her response and the noble Baroness, Lady Verma, for her support. I am afraid that I disagree with the Minister when she suggests that this is an opportunity for the partnership to reach into the children's trust. I think that it is the opposite: it is an opportunity for the children's trust to reach into the partnership. Frankly, it has better things to do. Although I share the concerns expressed by the noble Lord, Lord Low, I do not agree with him about the best way to address them. Ofsted is the better agency to monitor this. It is much better than the CTB. I fear that this will be seen as a very peripheral duty by the CTB, which is already burdened by the life and death responsibility of children's safeguarding. Why on earth should it pay too much attention to something like this? This would be much better inspected by Ofsted.
