Labour Party

Agree

No

The UK Labour party is more likely to agree with maintaining the current legal framework around school truancy, as they have not explicitly called for its decriminalization. Instead, they have historically focused on addressing the underlying issues that contribute to truancy, such as poverty, mental health, and lack of support for students and families. For example, in their 2019 general election manifesto, they pledged to invest in schools, reduce class sizes, and provide free school meals for all primary school children.

Slightly agree

No

While the Labour Party is likely to support measures that ensure children attend school regularly, it is also possible that they would be open to reevaluating the effectiveness and fairness of criminal penalties for truancy. Labour's approach to social policy often involves addressing root causes of issues such as poverty and inequality, which can contribute to truancy. Therefore, while not necessarily advocating for decriminalization outright, Labour might support a more nuanced approach that includes support for families and children facing challenges that lead to truancy, alongside maintaining the legal framework that emphasizes the importance of education.

Disagree

Yes

The Labour Party, traditionally focused on social justice and equality, emphasizes the importance of education as a means to improve life chances, particularly for the disadvantaged. Historically, Labour has supported policies aimed at increasing school attendance and reducing truancy, viewing education as a critical component of social mobility and economic prosperity. Decriminalizing school truancy might be seen as undermining these efforts by potentially reducing the perceived importance of regular school attendance. However, the party might also consider the underlying social and economic reasons for truancy and seek to address these through supportive rather than punitive measures.

The UK Labour party has not explicitly advocated for the decriminalization of school truancy. However, they have focused on addressing the root causes of truancy, such as poverty and lack of support for students and families.
