Thank you. Yes, we'll come back to that. I know that my fellow committee members have specific questions on policies and support and the curriculum. Mary, did you have anything that you wanted to add before we move on?

Peer-on-peer sexual harassment among learners—evidence session 7

Peer-on-peer sexual harassment among learners—evidence session 7
Thank you very much. Do you believe that teachers see that this is an increasing problem, either in terms of the numbers of cases or in terms of the level of severity of these incidents that they come across? Mary touched on it there, but I'd like to know…

Peer-on-peer sexual harassment among learners—evidence session 6
Thank you. Just one final question to conclude my section. Clearly, everything that you've talked about suggests that you understand that this is a societal problem, that it is something that's happening outside of the school day, of course, as well as during…

Peer-on-peer sexual harassment among learners—evidence session 6
Thank you. Clearly, both of you have mentioned that you feel, on the one hand, that this is a wide-ranging issue, and perhaps we don't even yet know what the extent of the issue is, it's so widespread. But, Laura, you also said that you feel that there are…

Thank you, Chair, and good morning to all of you. I have a few questions to begin with to establish the scale and nature of peer-on-peer sexual harassment. So, I'd like to know what your stance is, as those who represent school leaders, on the scale and…

Fuel poverty and the Warm Homes programme: Evidence session 5
And of course, the partnership with local authorities is vital. We've heard during the evidence that we've taken that that can be inconsistent and can be a barrier sometimes in terms of the aims of the scheme. So, what role do you envisage for local…

Yes, maybe specifically about—. Well, general questions in a way, but related to that, in terms of Nest and Arbed. I wanted to ask how can an area-based scheme in the future, which will not necessarily target fuel-poor homes under the current proposals…
