Implementation of education reforms - evidence session
Thank you. A significant number of appeals to the tribunal are either conceded by local authorities or withdrawn by applicants because of agreement being reached prior to the hearing. Does this suggest in any way that it is only the threat of being taken to…

Implementation of education reforms - evidence session
Okay, thank you for that answer; that's very interesting. What are the most common types of ALN appeals that come before the tribunal? Are issues mainly about decisions as to whether the learner has ALN in the first place, or about the provision that is put…

Care Inspectorate Wales: Annual Scrutiny
There was a report done by—well, there was an investigation through WalesOnline, I believe, into the Tŷ Cariad children's home. It was hit by a damning inspection and fears of safety for children. I was just wondering if you had any knowledge of this, or if…

Thank you, Chair. I just wanted to touch on the coverage of the Tŷ Cariad children's home and the report that was laid last September. I was just wondering if you have any comment on that report.

Care Inspectorate Wales: Annual Scrutiny
Thank you. Your annual report is very explicit that there is already a lack of suitable placements for children who are looked after. We also know that, in the 12 months to March 2023, 17 per cent of children looked after had two placements, and 9 per cent of…

Care Inspectorate Wales: Annual Scrutiny
Thank you, Chair, and thank you for joining us this morning. We can see that the rates of looked-after children vary between local authorities, from 52 per 10,000 of the population aged under 18 in Carmarthenshire to 200 per 10,000 in Torfaen, and this…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, First Minister. The scenes across Rhondda during storm Dennis in 2020 were horrifying. Videos of the land slip in Tylorstown sent shock waves of concern across all of our communities in Rhondda. I remember visiting the site in Tylorstown and the…

Thank you, Chair. I'd like to thank the petitioner. I can see that a draft feasibility study has been prepared on this petition, and it looks like there is some movement being made. So, I wonder if we could forward these questions, or any related questions…

Thank you, Chair. Delays in assessment for children with ALN, children slipping through the net, children just not getting the support they need and deserve in their education, is just not acceptable. I agree with everything that Peredur has just said. I was…

Evidence session—Free public transport for young people
Thank you. That's a really good point, that is, the anti-social behaviour. What age bracket would you say the main user is on the scheme? What age bracket? Or is it varying across?

Statement by the Deputy Minister for Social Partnership: International Women’s Day
Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. And diolch to the Deputy Minister for today's statement. I remember learning about the suffragettes in primary school and thinking how brave and strong those women must have been to fight for what they believed in. It's only right that…
