Llwybrau at addysg a hyfforddiant ôl-16 - sesiwn dystiolaeth 2
I'm going to ask questions about options after year 11. So, are there particular issues about choices available for neurodivergent young people, or young people with mental health needs post 11? For example, to what extent are choices limited because…

Yes, and Siôn's nodding. So, is that something that needs looking at, do you think, so that they can do both?

I don't know if you'll have the answer to this, but I was talking somebody who wanted to go down an apprentice route, but also wanted to continue with A-levels, but wasn't able to do both. I suppose that's a funding issue, isn't it?

Do schools not still organise, for the Welsh baccalaureate, work experience placements? Because I remember they used to employ somebody to help with that. So, has that diminished?

Thank you. Siôn, your paper says that there is stronger engagement between FE colleges and employers than between schools and employers. Why do think this is, and how can better working between schools and colleges and employers be encouraged?

Thank you. An Estyn report found that where schools with sixth forms do allow representatives into schools to meet with learners, this is sometimes restricted to specific groups of learners within the school who are unlikely to progress into the sixth form…

I think the questions arise because, very often, children start to think about their careers when they're looking at their choices for GCSEs. So, we were thinking—. And teachers, especially a teacher that maybe a child, a younger child, at primary school…

Rwy'n credu y gallwn i gyd gytuno bod perchnogaeth gyfrifol ar gŵn yn golygu blaenoriaethu lles yr anifail hefyd, a dros y blynyddoedd diwethaf, fodd bynnag, mae'r Senedd hon wedi clywed dro ar ôl tro sut y mae'r diwydiant rasio milgwn yn methu cyrraedd…

—to the resilience of the network. Every week, I plan when I'm going up and down on the train, and I look at the weather and I think, 'I'll have to go now. I can't wait till tomorrow because it's going to flood', or it's freezing temperatures and I'm really…

Okay, that's fine. It was just that it was picked up by Audit Wales, so I wanted to ask that—

Audit Wales were saying about monitoring and reporting of the active travel Act. I know there's a lack of technical officers in local authorities, so it was welcome, this change, which will help streamline it, really. But they've also mentioned having…

The loss of expertise was an issue as well. So, will the expertise go to the regional level, or can they retain some locally? How does that work?

Transport. Okay.

Okay. There is talk as well about devolving more to CJCs, on the resilient roads fund and other grants. It's been raised previously here about ensuring that money is actually spent on those things that it's intended to be spent on, if it's not ring-fenced as…
