Great, thank you. It's obvious that we need to look at the outcomes as they emerge from the new curriculum, particularly in regard to holistic teaching, and specific outcomes for learners who face disabling barriers as well. Thanks, Chair.

Do you think that the way that outcomes are measured is sufficient to inform policy and to drive cultural change within schools? And to what extent—? You've talked about confidence, and how confidence can be damaged through discrimination and bullying, but…

To what extent then are educational outcomes impacted by the ability of a school to support learners who are disabled?

Thanks, Chair. We've already heard about the impact of discrimination due to disability. Could you just talk a little bit more about the impacts strictly in terms of how it affects your mental health and well-being?

Brilliant. Thank you. Aside from the challenge that you've already outlined, about making sure that the commission gets off to a smooth start, what else do you see as immediate challenges, and how do you intend to address them?

Thanks, Chair. Simon, you've alluded to the difficulty that you may face in managing expectations, particularly in regard to managing those expectations from people who might want to maintain the status quo, vis à vis stakeholders who want to see significant…

Thanks, Chair. Hi, Simon. Just to be clear, that phone call from Odgers was the first direct approach that you'd received from either a recruitment agency or civil servants or the Minister. You weren't directly approached when the job went out to…

Weinidog, wrth gwrs, fe fyddwch yn ymwybodol o'r cymorth ariannol sylweddol a gynigiwyd gan Lywodraeth Cymru i weithredwyr twristiaeth yng nghanolbarth Cymru dros nifer o flynyddoedd. Fel Russell George, ymwelais ag atyniadau pwysig yr wythnos diwethaf…

Thank you. Just finally, is any additional legislation required, do you think, to end gender-based violence?

Atal trais ar sail rhywedd drwy ddulliau iechyd y cyhoedd: sesiwn dystiolaeth 3
Thanks, Chair. I'm going to ask about investment. You say that gender-based violence costs the UK economy around about £66 billion annually. How much do you think the Welsh Government is currently investing in services and actions to prevent gender-based…

There's a great book by John Bradshaw, 'Healing the Shame that Binds You', which looks at this sort of issue. Committee may do well to have a synopsis of that.

Atal trais ar sail rhywedd drwy ddulliau iechyd y cyhoedd: sesiwn dystiolaeth 2
Thank you. Just a final thought—from either or both of you—on why it's proving so difficult to prevent gender-based violence, and what the priorities should be for the Welsh Government. Do you think that the approach that's taken, the thinking that's adopted…

Thanks, Chair, and thanks so far for the evidence that you've given today; it's been fascinating. I'm conscious of time, so I'm going to ask one question directed, first of all, to Oliver, if I may, and that concerns the evidence that we've heard from a…

Sorry, Ruth, I wasn't clear enough in my question. It regards the actual facilities of schools themselves, the built environment, the classrooms under the twenty-first century schools programme, because it is a huge capital programme that the Welsh Government…

So, do you think—? And you may not be able to answer this, I'm not sure, but as far as you're aware, does the twenty-first century schools programme cater fully and comprehensively for the needs of all learners, particularly disabled learners?

Thank you. What do you believe are the primary barriers to having an inclusive education system in Wales? Can they be removed in the short term, do you think?

So, just to be clear, that's every single child. You don't think there are any instances in which segregated education might be desirable for the learner.

A yw plant a phobl ifanc anabl yn cael mynediad cyfartal at addysg a gofal plant?—sesiwn dystiolaeth 2
Thank you. To what extent is this also the case in Wales? How desirable and realistic do you think it is for Wales to have a fully inclusive education system, as envisaged by the UN convention?

A yw plant a phobl ifanc anabl yn cael mynediad cyfartal at addysg a gofal plant?—sesiwn dystiolaeth 2
Thanks, Chair. Can I start by asking for your views on the UN committee’s perception that the UK does not have an inclusive education system as a result of the way it interprets and applies the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities? And why…
