Proceeding contribution from Lord Storey (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 11 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Education Bill.

Education Bill

My Lords, I echo what the noble Baroness, Lady Morris, has said. My concern is that physical contact happens in schools, whether it is in music, sport or a whole range of things. If you try to codify it and say, ““These are the areas in which you can have physical contact””, what about the other areas—for example, when a four or five year-old wants reassurance and wants to hold the teacher’s hand in the playground? If that is not in the guidance, does that mean that that should not happen? We need to be very thoughtful about this.
