I had my children to care and nurture them for their individual needs , not to hand over the control of decision making to the government when they are of school age. I feel this is damaging, penalising the children that are in loving homes. Our children aren’t machines and shouldn’t penalise for attendance when sick or struggling. Nor should be celebrated for 100%attendance to make other children feel bad about themselves for being sick.
I am deeply concerned that the bill undermines parental rights and places an excessive administrative burden on families without evidence of widespread issues in the home education community. Parents are best placed to decide what is in the best interests of their children, and the current proposals risk compromising the flexibility and individuality that make home education effective for so many learners.
They are my children and no one wants best for them than I do.
This bill is solely an attack on our parental rights. Using the death of a poor girl that was failed by government services as usual as a front for this bill which is disgraceful. This poor girl was a child IN SCHOOL under social services and failed again and again. This is nothing to do with the safety of children because the government are not safe for children. This is about control. Schools are also not safe spaces for a majority of children and if they are not thriving they are not receiving an education. If the government can’t protect the children already in school and being reported how is this bill going to help? It is not nor do they care for their safety or they would sort out the failing schools and government organisations before ever proposing to infringe on our rights! There are thousands of children out of school waiting for school places and the government are doing nothing to source these children places so why are they again overstepping into parental rights and responsibility?
They also didn’t care about them during lockdown it’s only when it coincides with an agenda that it is manipulated to seem like you are trying to help.
There are some very concerning points to this bill.
The terrorism laws have been expanded and made deliberately vague (under the conservatives). The homes of pro-Palestinian journalists are being raided and their devices taken by the police. Also, I do not like the fact the UK government is joining forces with the rotten US administration to bomb impoverished third-world countries. So immoral.
I sign this as someone suffering at the hands of this government, a government who has lied to us all in order to sit at the front table and make U-Turns on all promises, which are now fabricated and well executed lies. Our country and civilisation is being destroyed by those who are supposed to represent us. Our businesses are failing because of this government's incompetence, our schools are crumbling and cannot meet the needs of students, because of this government's shameful behaviour and now, between new ideologies forced upon us, being silenced and our rights to free speech eroded to the point of arrest and imprisonment for saying what our country wants to say, a government protecting migrants who come to steel from us, abuse us and in cases kill us in cold blood, take our homes from us and run us as if we are slaves to them, yet this government allows it and protects them. We have to stand together and stand strong and say enough is enough, stop this now. This government entered on lies and perpetuates them to this day, uses the media as it's sounding board and no one dares challenge it under threat of arrest for non-hate crimes, speaking the truth rather than the party line we must toe. For all those who fought for our rights between 1st and 2nd world wars onwards, those who died trying, just so we can live the lives we live to this day, this government has shamefully stolen those rights from us and our country is not fit to trade with or do business with. Time to fix the mistakes, time to stop the lying, time to stop the abuses of power and RESET.
I have always been a Labour supporter but it now seems the average person has no voice ,no input into what is happening.This government is dictating to us what THEY want to do.
We need to be heard.We need a say in planning and this government seems intent to concrete over the whole country and to put pylons on what is left.
I want my voice to be heard .
I am fed up with not having a voice or any input into how our governments behave.Whether it is Tory or Labour , no one seems to take any notice .
My vote has not counted for so long even though I always vote .This system of politics needs to be changed so we all have an input.

I have been reading the updates regarding the sighting process of the Geological Disposal Facility (GDF).
One of your proposed sites is the area in and around Millom.
With reference to this area there are the Pitfalls of living with Historic Mining Risk, which I am sure you will agree produce hazards and consequences.
A large sinkhole was discovered in 2020 around the seawall in the Millom area. At the time, the coastguard, and other agencies
were involved in the deliberations. There is also a sinkhole being monitored at the car park area around Haverigg, this is being scrutinised by Millom Council.
The inner seawall started to collapse between 1885 with the main incident taking place in 1898. This was due to mining and the unsophisticated way in which it was allowed to take place leaving the area of Millom and Haverigg under great burden from associated problems.
Millom is three miles from Silecroft the edge of the National Park a protected area of great excellence. Hodbarrow Nature Reserve is also a protected area
naturally created for the protection of birds and covers an area of 8.1 acres.
In your Community Partnership Letter (Issue eight) it is stated that 31% of people in the Millom area are against this project, and 33% were neutral.
I suggest regarding the neutral view and during questioning any local people that you interview should have more knowledge around engineering and a better understanding of the technical aspect of this subject.
Please take this feedback with the intent it deserves which is preserving this great area where many people live.
Best Regards

A fourfold increase in the number of signatures required seems like a deliberate attempt to make it harder for residents to have their voices heard. The fact that a councillor from my own ward (Briggs) voted for this is definitely something to take note of - especially given the wider context of my own struggles to get accountability from the council.
It raises broader questions about democratic participation, accessibility, and whether North Lincolnshire Council is actively trying to shut down public engagement.
