Teaching British Values

We need to wait to see how this pans out but it is important to pre-emptively note that any attempt at teaching British values to our schoolchildren must be inclusive. That is to say it must include all British state schools regardless of what British nation they happen to be educated in.

There is absolutely no equality based ethical argument that would exclude Scotland and Wales and Northern Ireland from these plans.

Indeed, to do it any other way would be prejudicial. An England and Wales only scheme or an England only scheme cannot and should not be tolerated.
