Free speech row over new hate crime bill in Scotland
Published 25 July 2020 Share close Share page Copy link About sharing A public consultation has closed on changes to Scotland's hate crime laws, which opponents say could have a damaging effect on free speech. Ministers argue the bill offers great protection for victims at a time when the number of cases is on the rise. Scottish Labour's James Kelly said he had 'serious reservations', especially over the offence of stirring up hatred. But Scotland's justice secretary said people's freedom of expression was not under attack. As you are reading this news story on the BBC news website I am going to hazard a guess that you probably believe that freedom of expression is a fundamental human right. And that you think without the right to free speech many other freedoms may be threatened? You would probably also agree that it is wrong actively attempt to stir up hatred against … [Read more...] about Free speech row over new hate crime bill in Scotland

Ofsted steps into debate over parents’ right to choose education
Branwen Jeffreys Published 11 December 2015 Share close Share page Copy link About sharing The chief inspector of schools has never been afraid of controversy, and with this latest intervention against unregistered schools he is firmly stepping into the debate about how and where people can choose to educate their children. It is perfectly legal to choose to educate your children at home, and if you do make that choice there is no obligation to follow a particular curriculum. It is also perfectly legal to run a part-time tuition centre to offer additional teaching and support to children who are home-educated. And if your part-time education centre teaches children for fewer than 20 hours a week there are remarkably few obligations. You don't have to register with the authorities or be open to inspection, unlike a private fee-paying school. This has created a grey … [Read more...] about Ofsted steps into debate over parents’ right to choose education

‘Radicalisation risk’ at six Muslim private schools, says Ofsted
By Hannah Richardson Published 21 November 2014 Share close Share page Copy link About sharing Pupils at six small Muslim private schools in east London are at risk of extremist views and radicalisation, says Ofsted's chief inspector. Sir Michael Wilshaw said the pupils' "physical and educational welfare is at serious risk" following a series of emergency inspections. He said all the schools focused too heavily on Islamic teachings. One of the schools called Ofsted "unprofessional", while another said its findings did not reflect reality. Education Secretary Nicky Morgan says the schools will be closed down if changes are not made quickly. "We asked Ofsted to carry out these independent school inspections and the findings are very concerning," she said. "While there is no suggestion of a co-ordinated plot, it is clear that these schools are failing children and this … [Read more...] about ‘Radicalisation risk’ at six Muslim private schools, says Ofsted

‘Rethink hard Brexit’, Carwyn Jones tells Theresa May
Published 13 June 2017 comments Comments Share close Share page Copy link About sharing The first minister has called on Theresa May to rethink plans for how the UK should leave the European Union. In a letter to the prime minister, Carwyn Jones claimed the general election result showed there was "no mandate" for a "hard Brexit". He called for an urgent meeting of the joint ministerial committee (JMC) of UK leaders to establish a "broad-based consensus" on Brexit. Wales Office minister Guto Bebb urged Mrs May to take a cross-party approach. In his letter, Mr Jones said it was "increasingly clear" a transitional deal was needed. The first minister highlighted a UK government White Paper proposal to leave the customs union as an example of a measure that did not have widespread support.
