— No

1.2 Please outline your reasons for your answer to question 1.1

(we would be grateful if you could keep your answer to around 1000 words)

I believe as a parent or Guardian of a child it is your responsibility to care and protect your children and if they need correcting or punishment then it is up to the individuals to do so within reason I grew up with this as well as canning in schools and it never did myself any harm as once you have had the cane you did not want a second one

1.3 Do you think there is a need for legislation to deliver what this Bill is trying to achieve?

(we would be grateful if you could keep your answer to around 1000 words)

No this bill should be abolished I only ever corrected my daughter once she is now 22 and getting on with her life I also think that canning should be bought back in schools
