Details

The Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill aims to remove barriers to opportunity in schools and improve the education system to make it more consistent and safer for every child.

The Regulatory Policy Committee (RPC) gave a ‘green’ rating to the impact assessment for the bill on 31 January 2025. This means that we considered the impact assessment to be fit for purpose based on our scrutiny of the evidence and analysis supporting the case for why regulation is necessary. 

The RPC’s opinion refers to the evidence and analysis presented in the impact assessment, not the policy itself.
