The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, when she next plans to review the Children (Performance and Activities) (England) Regulations 2014.

Answered by Josh MacAlister

The government recognises the need to review the Children (Performance and Activities) (England) Regulations 2014, and we are committed to doing so. This will require careful consideration of how such a review might best be conducted to ensure that children are able to continue to access positive performance opportunities in the future, while also making sure that their safety, wellbeing and best interests are protected.
