In your letter to—. In your evidence, I think, to the Children, Young People and Education Committee, the cost of the new institute is a best estimate and you expect to provide a more accurate analysis of the costs once the second phase of the review of the…

Do you foresee that a person doing that role one day a week would then be potentially shared by local authorities, or is that adding to somebody else's role within a local authority?

Diolch. So, I'll bring in Rhianon now. She's sitting there patiently. I'll bring Rhianon in. Diolch, Rhianon. Hang on. Yes, that's it, you're on.

Great. Before I bring Peter in, there were three scenarios that you’ve talked about within the Bill. If it becomes law, you haven’t quantified scenario 1 and scenario 3, but have said that scenario 3 would lead to considerable impacts and costs for…

When it comes to workforce planning—and you’ve made the assumption that the headteacher will be doing this—and when it comes to additional support within the implementation of this, can you talk a little bit about how you’ve costed that into the RIA? And is…

And you're content that that provides enough of a range. One of the things that you mentioned was the kinds of schools and different schools. Did you look at a geographical range of schools too? We were speaking earlier about places on the border, or in areas…
