Closed petition Require Independent Scrutiny Before Passing any Education Laws Affecting Rights

We ask Parliament to require no education legislation affecting parental rights, religious freedom, or home education be enacted without an external independent review—appointed by cross-party agreement, based on sound evidence and consultation with affected minority communities.

More details

We urge Parliament to introduce a statutory safeguard requiring that any education legislation with implications for family life, belief, or parental authority undergo external, independent scrutiny, anchored in the Human Rights Act, the Equality Act, and the UK’s constitutional and human rights framework prior to its final passage into law. We think this will help ensure it is free from ideological or political influence. This process must include legal review and structured input from expert stakeholders.
