Tom Giffard, I wondered if you could pick up the issue of workforce development and fair work, but also how the childcare offer is an equitable service for people from different demographic groups.

Okay, well, perhaps we can hear about the detail of that outside this meeting. Thank you very much, all of you, for your contributions. You will be sent a transcript of your contributions. Please do check them to make sure that we've accurately captured what…

Overall, would you accept that there is a huge unmet demand for wraparound care for primary school children?
15 Tachwedd 2021 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Gofal plant a chyflogaeth rhieni—sesiwn dystiolaeth 2
I know.

Okay. I just wanted to pick up with Sharon one of the points made by Jane O'Toole, which was that there was in one instance she mentioned, a SHEP project, a holiday programme, put into a school where there was a holiday provision already running which…

I think we probably want to find out what Sharon Davies says about this, particularly as all of this unregistered care is in schools.
