I just wanted to echo, Chair, everything Luke's said. I totally agree with him and Joel. But yes, as far as what Luke said, I think that is the right course of action to take.

Yes, I agree with Luke.

I think everything is operating as normal now, isn't it, with the outdoor education centres? I'm sure they are. Yes, they are. So, we could thank the petitioner and close the petition.

We could write back to the Minister for Education and Welsh Language, highlighting the petitioner's concerns, asking the question how the petitioner could contribute to future planning for the teaching profession. We could do that.

It's all about safety, isn't it, really—keeping mother and baby and staff safe. It must have been absolutely horrendous last year for new mothers to be giving birth without their birth partners with them. I can only imagine what they must have gone through…

That's what I was going to say. I was going to agree with Joel. That's the way forward, definitely, yes.

Again, it's another very, very important subject. Like I said, coming from a school environment myself, I know how important it is that children have their questions answered, and answered as honestly as possible, even though sometimes we don't like giving…

I'd just like to say that I agree with Luke's way forward. I think that's the action we should take now—we should pass this on to the Minister and he can use this to make his informed decision on the review that will be, hopefully, available in late autumn.

This is a really serious concern, this is. I worked within the school environment for a long time and I understand the embarrassment young girls have. They don't like asking for period products, they just don't. So, I really understand the importance of this…

These firebreak lockdowns have been a necessity, haven't they, really? I think that, with the restrictions lifting now, things will look very different in the future, hopefully, and they are an emergency, the lockdowns. That was the purpose of them. They were…

I just wanted to raise a point and say that with everything that’s gone on over the last few weeks with the Afghanistan crisis, I’ve had an overwhelming response from people in Rhondda welcoming the refugees. I know this is a very emotive subject, but it’s…

Chair, I'm just looking at the notes here. This is another very emotive subject again. Maybe we could go with the recommendations to produce a short report setting out key issues. Yes?

I was just going to say that we need to follow the science. It's as simple as that, really, isn't it? I agree with the sentiment of this petition, but yes, I echo what Joel has said.

I have two children that are still in education. One had their third year in university throughout lockdown, and I have one in primary school that is going to the comprehensive now in September. I know that teaching staff have worked extremely hard to keep…

Chair, could I declare an interest in this, simply because I know Natalie? Maybe it would be an idea to write to the Deputy Minister for arts and have a response from the Minister.

This is a very emotive subject, isn't it, especially if you've been a victim of bullying yourself? I recommend that we do write to the Minister for education and seek a response from him. I think it's important that this is addressed. It is an issue that is…

I agree with what Joel says. He said he doesn't recognise what the petition is asking, but I would disagree, because everybody in Rhondda feels exactly the same as how Joel is saying people feel down his neck of the woods, basically. I just think it's where…

Yes, I agree with Joel. I found it difficult as well to really understand what the text was saying, and I think that's the way to go—basically, write to the children's commissioner and get some feedback there.

I've looked at this and I think home-educated children should have the same rights as any other child when it comes to sitting exams. How does everybody else feel on this? Because I come from a background of education, and I just think any child should have…

Joel brings up some very valid points there. In Rhondda, we have—. I've been contacted by many, many residents who struggle with their everyday life—you know, pavements, access to shops—and they always find it difficult to know where to turn for that help and…

Hoffwn i ddiolch i'r Gweinidog am y datganiad heddiw. Rwy'n cytuno yn llwyr â'r cynlluniau uchelgeisiol. Mae angen i ni blannu mwy o goed i fynd i'r afael â newid hinsawdd a lleihau'r siawns o amodau tywydd mwy eithafol, fel y glaw a arweiniodd at y llifogydd…
