Proceeding contribution from Lord Rix (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 17 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Children and Young Persons Bill [HL].
Children and Young Persons Bill [HL]
I support all the amendments in this group. My noble friend Lord Listowel mentioned disabled children. I particularly mention learning-disabled children, because they often have a great deal of difficulty communicating and find it hard to express their wishes and preferences. In my opinion—and, I am sure, that of many Members of the Committee—independent advocacy is crucial to ensure that the child’s views are taken into account.
