Just a question on the self-employment issue, because, of course, once you are self-employed, you only have limited access, then, to benefits if you become unemployed subsequently. And, of course, a lot of self-employed people are in and out of work…

And, of course, once you are in work, there's the issue of your career and progression, being retained as well, during the ups and downs of businesses and so on. Is that an issue, as well, that you’ve come across?

Thanks for that. Some supported employment provision is limited to 16 to 25. Can you just say a little bit about your experience of restrictions in the availability of support, how that works, what your views are, particularly in terms of support later in…

Okay. Just moving on a little bit, then, Learning Disability Wales, with whom you’ll have had engagement, I think, has called for a national job coaching strategy, which would see disabled people being able to access supported employment support. Is that…

So, when employers' jobs are being advertised, and some of them, of course, always state, 'We're equal opportunities, we provide et cetera, et cetera', of course, what it doesn't provide is what that means in practice, in terms of accessibility and in terms…

Is that something that applies across the board, in different parts of the country, or is this something that's a particularly acute problem in Wales?

Following on from that, you've described some of the provision in Wales as being not fit for purpose. I wonder if you could just say a little bit more about that. Precisely what is it that's not fit for purpose, what is it that needs to change?

Trefnydd, mae 14 mlynedd o gyni Torïaidd wedi gadael rhannau o'n system gyfiawnder ar y dibyn ac yn agos at chwalu. Un o'r rhesymau pam yr ydyn ni wedi pwyso am ddatganoli gwasanaeth cyfiawnder a phrawf ieuenctid yw oherwydd ei fod yn gweddu mor dda o fewn…

What would you like to see happening with data in the future? Do you think there is a more specific role for Welsh Government, or perhaps even in conjunction with the universities, or whatever, in this area?
14 Hydref 2024 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Anabledd a chyflogaeth: sesiwn dystiolaeth 7
Yes. I'll be very quick. You did start talking about the issue of data, particularly within the context of monitoring, and I suppose it leads also to enforcement in some ways, but predominantly monitoring. If you don’t understand what’s happening, if you…

Do you have a specific approach in terms of what is needed, though, with data? Do you have, I suppose, a strategic policy in respect of the data that you actually want and require? Because you’ve told me quite a bit about, ‘Well, there’s data from the ONS’…

Thank you. Just a few questions, to perhaps explore a little bit more about what I started earlier. The quality of the data that we have—perhaps you could just explain again what are your views on the quality of data we have, what are the main sources of that…

Just a couple of things, only because they fit with the evidence that you're giving at the moment on some things I wanted to ask later on. Just on the incorporation issue, well, of course, the Welsh Government is bound by the UN convention in any event. It is…

Very quickly. Was any consideration given, when the final ballot takes place, in terms of whether someone should be allowed to continue or not, to the issue of spending limits, what the person can spend within that process?

The second thing: did you consider the possibility of bypassing the issue of having actually a petition? I know they have the petition within the UK Parliament, but again that's a different electoral system. That is, if there is a recommendation from your…
