Brian Lightman warns of a hidden danger in the Protection of Freedoms Bill
Every day in more than 1,000 secondary schools in England, students buy their lunch, check out library books and access buildings with finger recognition systems.
Students love it because they don't have to worry about losing or forgetting ID cards or dinner money; parents love it because it takes away the stigma of free schools meals (no one can tell who pays and who doesn't) and they know dinner money isn't being spent at the chip shop; schools appreciate the cost savings, compared to cash or card systems, which frees up money to spend on teachers and learning resources.
