Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made of the effectiveness of the Children and Young Persons Act 1933.

The provisions in the Children and Young Persons Act 1933 are kept under review and updated through primary legislation. We are currently seeking to make updates through the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill, including in part II of the act, which makes provision for the employment of children in England and Wales.
