Thanks. Just finally from me, is there anything else that you'd like to see in the Bill, or, indeed, is there anything that you'd like to see amended?

Bil Addysg Awyr Agored Breswyl (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 2
Thank you. Is it fair to assume that, for a lot of young people, this sort of experience would be their only experience of being away from home during the year, and maybe their first experience of being away from home? It effectively might be the first…

Excellent. Thank you. That's really helpful. Is there an ideal age for children to undertake residential visits, to get the best out of the experience? And, secondly, there is already a lot of evidence that shows the benefit of residential visits, outdoor…

Bil Addysg Awyr Agored Breswyl (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 2
Thanks, Chair. I'm just going to try to extract a few more views on the Bill from you, if I may. Now, it provides a course of residential outdoor education. It doesn't need to be provided on one visit. Do you think that's the right approach, or would you…

Bil Addysg Awyr Agored Breswyl (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 1
Thanks, Chair. Cost is the biggest barrier, I think, for this proposal, particularly at this current time, with the state of public finances being more difficult than I've ever known. It's incredibly difficult for Ministers making decisions about their…

Bil Addysg Awyr Agored Breswyl (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 1
Yes, so what you've just highlighted is very much a social justice issue for young people. Now, the Bill is, I think, generally being identified as something relating specifically to education, but actually, contained within the Bill, would you agree, there…

Thank you, Sam. The EM also highlights the data challenges in terms of understanding how many children are currently accessing residential outdoor education. Have you been able to overcome the data issues in identifying a need for the Bill and the proposed…

Ymchwiliad i weithrediad 'Cynllun Gweithredu Cymru Wrth-hiliol': Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda’r Gweinidog
Yes. Thanks, Chair. Just one more question from myself: we've heard concerns about the lack of progress to implement the actions specific to the Gypsy, Roma and Traveller community—are you able to give us assurance that this is a top priority?

Thanks, Chair. Minister, you'll probably be aware of Swansea Council's comments. They relate to complexities in delivering the plan. I think they said this begs the question as to how much thought went into the plan in the first place to set realistic time…

Thanks, Chair. Good afternoon, Minister. I'm going to ask some questions about implementing the plan itself. I'll start with the question of has the Welsh Government got the right structures in place to deliver the plan and are you confident that the…
