Clause 16 - Joint area reviews
Children Bill [Lords]
4:30 pm
Mr Hilton Dawson (Lancaster and Wyre, Labour)
My amendments are entirely sensible; they are designed to ensure that the Children's Commissioner has a role in developing the arrangements for the fundamentally important joint area reviews and a framework for inspection. It seems to me that a commissioner whose role is to promote awareness of the interests and views of children should be firmly involved in developing such important work alongside the other extremely worthy people on the list in the clause.
