Scrutiny of Estyn Annual Report 2021-22
Just very quickly, in that regard, to follow up on that, you said that you've seen that the kind of support being provided to schools is generic. Could you give us a few more details on that statement? Is that about a specific kind of support that's provided…

Scrutiny of Estyn Annual Report 2021-22
Thank you very much. We'll keep a close eye on that, clearly. I just want to turn quickly to the issue of the local authority services and the consortia, of course, that you inspect too. You inspected five local authorities during 2021-22, but have you…

And of course, Estyn will have a role, partly in monitoring the performance of the sector—but not all of the sector, of course. So, you will, as far as I'm aware, be a core part of that planning in terms of how the commission goes about solving this.

Scrutiny of Estyn Annual Report 2021-22
Thank you, Chair. I just wanted to ask one quick question about post-16 provision. In your thematic report, you mentioned that there is too much variation in the opportunities for young people, depending on where they live. So, I just wanted to ask how you…

Scrutiny of Estyn Annual Report 2021-22
Thank you, Chair. You refer in your report to these deficiencies in terms of the teaching of Welsh, in particular in English-medium schools, and about the fact that you feel that the majority of the Welsh in education strategic plans of local authorities…

Services for care-experienced children: exploring radical reform—evidence session 4
Yes, just one brief, final question regarding which services—. A number of you have talked about the need to work in partnership more across the services needed to support young people. Are there services that are missing and how could we resolve that?

Services for care-experienced children: exploring radical reform—evidence session 4
Thank you, Chair. We've discussed a great deal this morning what needs to be reformed, but in general, what is the experience of the majority of children in the care system in Wales? Do they experience a person-centred approach?
, Children, Young People, and Education Committee
Services for care-experienced children: exploring radical reform—evidence session 3
And person centred, yes.

Services for care-experienced children: exploring radical reform—evidence session 3
In terms of the children, what would help them most, with regard to what is missing from the services that they need, or that the majority of them need, to support them with these challenges that you've outlined? What needs to be done? Is there a need for…

Services for care-experienced children: exploring radical reform—evidence session 3
Thank you very much. You have powerfully painted a picture for us of what is amiss with the current system. I wonder whether you can give us a picture too of what the outcomes of this for our children are. What is the experience of the majority of the…

I'll be asking my questions in Welsh, so if you can put your headsets on.

Services for care-experienced children: exploring radical reform—evidence session 3
Yes, I just wanted to pick up on that, really. Going back to what we talked about previously, about locations, would more regional co-operation in that regard, in finding matches—would having a regional or a national structure around that help the situation…

Debt and the impact of the rising cost of living: evidence session 1
I just wanted to follow up on that point, really, about motivating those local authorities that are reluctant to change. You mentioned one possible reason for that. Dr Victoria Winckler from the Bevan Foundation told the Finance Committee that she felt that…

Debt and the impact of the rising cost of living: evidence session 1
I wanted to ask a very brief question on the importance of this to StepChange, to Peter. You mentioned in your written evidence about this vicious cycle of people being in debt and the effect of that on their mental health. Do you agree, therefore, that…
