The Schools Bill: Academies, Homeschooling & School Shaming (Warwick Mansell & Naomi Fisher)
SHOW NOTES
In this powerful episode, we speak with two leading commentators on education and children’s rights – Warwick Mansell, independent investigative journalist and founder of Education Uncovered, and Dr Naomi Fisher, clinical psychologist and author of Changing Our Minds.
We dig into the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill currently making its way through Parliament, and ask: who gets to decide what’s best for children?
Warwick examines how the academies system has paved the way for growing inequality, secrecy, and reduced local oversight, while Naomi outlines how the Bill could ramp up state control over home education.
From changes to local authorities to parental rights, this episode uncovers what’s at stake – and why we should all be paying attention.
