• [Jun 09] Sarah Teather*: YOU may well have seen the press coverage of Reg Bailey's report on the commercialisation and sexualisation of children, published earlier this week. While some of the coverage was the sort you'd expect from the conservative-leaning press, most of it was more balanced and thoughtful.
As Minister for Children and Families, I've been closely involved in this work and I'm really pleased with what he's come up with. It demonstrates Liberal Democrat values and approaches, and has already started to make a difference in practice - which is what matters . .
I'd be really interested in the views of Lib Dem Voice readers on Reg Bailey's recommendations, and how we can continue to make sure that every child gets a fair start in life, and every family gets the support it needs to thrive.
* MP for Brent Central and Minister of State (Children and Families), Education
