Diolch yn fawr. Well, obviously, I will be very much mindful of what comes forward from your review, your inquiry, in terms of the evidence about the different perpetration programmes. I've met with those organisations who are developing perpetration…

This is something where there's never going to be, probably, enough money to invest in this, and it has to—. As I said, I suppose we focused our funding pressures, as they are, in the ministry for social justice, on the specialist services. We have a very…

This is something where we would also expect many of those organisations and bodies to be taking responsibility themselves. This cannot be something that is just—. You get Welsh Government funding in order to make those kinds of changes. Obviously, our…

Well, I think we do in terms of—. I think what's important is that we do have a tackling perpetration work stream, and there's a whole range of ways in which that's being delivered, particularly working closely with crime and justice partners and…

Diolch yn fawr, Altaf Hussain, and thank you for that important question. This is multi-agency working that we need to achieve through our legislation here in Wales, and obviously we've worked through the fact that we have this now, this implementation board…

Thanks very much for that question, Jane, and, of course, we're working very closely with the Deputy Minister for Social Services on these issues, and ensuring that we’re understanding the needs and the experiences of care-experienced young people. It’s why…

We are pressing ahead with that. I don't think I've got the latest on what we can actually deliver on it. I don't know if Paul has. It was a very important recommendation from the former committee that we had that protection. But, Paul, have you got the…

Bringing this to the forefront of responsibility for the national implementation board, and, indeed, for the work streams, I think, is an indication of our commitment to that. For example, I think, just in terms of looking at—. I've mentioned disabled…

I think that's a very, very important point that's been made, not just by yourself, in terms of this question, Sioned, but by Lara Snowdon in terms of recognising the dimension of this and the public health and trauma-informed perspective. I think we have a…

We haven't considered amending legislation. We obviously have discussions on the issues raised by the national advisers. I think this goes back, perhaps, to the Chair's first question about can we prove that the Act is being delivered on a cross-Government…

There's the further contract that was approved in November to Welsh Women's Aid for ongoing delivery of 'ask and act' training. I mentioned the evaluation that was published last year. This is under discussion now, and again, perhaps if I can come back to…

That's a really important question. It goes back to the impact assessments, doesn't it, and actually what change is this making. The numbers can be impressive. I've mentioned 'ask and act' already, for example, earlier on in terms of the questions today. We…

It makes absolute sense that we should. I need to look at this carefully. It hasn't been presented to me that we're not undertaking that kind of impact assessment, but I would certainly want to look at that call from the British Psychological Society. As you…

Well, this is something I would very much like to take back to the national board—that point about how much more can we be open and public and just account for what we're doing. We've given high-level reports on what we're doing, and that's good, but you need…

Thank you very much, Sarah. Those national indicators are crucially important. You're aware, of course, that we have an extant set of national indicators, which came before the Senedd in 2019. So, we have those indicators, but we now need to reflect, as a…
