Y Bil Partneriaeth Gymdeithasol a Chaffael Cyhoeddus (Cymru): sesiwn dystiolaeth weinidogol
Excellent. That answers one of the other questions I was going to raise. Just to clarify, the Wales TUC can't filter out nominations from affiliated unions, can it? It basically nominates all of those that are presented by the affiliated unions. Is my…

Y Bil Partneriaeth Gymdeithasol a Chaffael Cyhoeddus (Cymru): sesiwn dystiolaeth weinidogol
Thank you, Chair. Thanks, Minister, for attending, and thanks also to your officials. I'm going to ask about membership of the social partnership council, if I may, and begin specifically with section 5 of the Bill. I'd be really grateful if you could explain…

Thank you. Chair, I'm just really conscious of time. There was one more question that I was going to ask concerning support that needs to be offered, or additional support that needs to be offered, to support learners from specific groups, where they…

Lovely. Thank you. And if you could provide, in a suitably redacted way, any casework evidence that you just highlighted, to support that argument, I think it would be really helpful for the committee, if that's possible. Just moving on to causal effects, to…

Okay. Thanks. Would you agree, therefore, that provision should be made available for blended learning in certain cases? Your evidence points to how some positive experiences have been gained by many learners as a result of the pandemic and remote learning…

We've heard from other contributors today that, as a result of the pandemic, some habits have been formed that have led to learners perhaps being less inclined to attend school, and perhaps some messaging needs to be managed by somebody, an organisation, in…

Diolch, Chair. Thanks for attending today. Great to see you both. I'll just start with quite a straightforward question, if I may: what do you believe are the main reasons for the increase in general and persistent pupil absence? Perhaps beginning—yes, go…

Great, thank you. Just one final question. It's about the correlation between absence and social factors and so forth. We've heard evidence from numerous experts that suggest there is a very strong correlation between children experiencing deprivation and…

Absenoldeb disgyblion—sesiwn dystiolaeth 2
Thank you. Just a couple more questions, Chair, if I may. Do either of you have a view or any sort of experience of noticing how the cost of attending school may have contributed to the increasing levels of absence, in particular school transport costs, where…

Okay, thank you. Those, if you like, extraordinary cases, would they concern probably grave mental health issues, I guess?

So, would you say there should be no expectation on schools to provide any form of blended learning for students, pupils, learners who request it?

Laura, yes.

Absenoldeb disgyblion—sesiwn dystiolaeth 2
Great, excellent. Thank you. To what extent do you think that some learners have found positive benefits from remote or home learning, and is that influencing their decision to stay away from school, or is it primarily a negative experience that is…

But should there be leadership from somebody or an organisation? I'm just conscious if nobody takes ownership of this and leads on it then passing the buck becomes so much easier, or ignoring the problem.
16 Mehefin 2022 , Children, Young People, and Education Committee
Absenoldeb disgyblion—sesiwn dystiolaeth 2
Thanks. Just on that specific point that you were making about habits having changed, who should take responsibility? Who should own this and address this challenge, and, with it, who should be in charge of the messaging insofar as the acceptance of absence…

Diolch, Chair. Thanks for attending today. Perhaps I'll direct this first of all to Laura—a very simple question: what do you believe are the main reasons for the increase in general and persistent pupil absence?

Wel, diolch, Prif Weinidog, mae hynny'n gymorth enfawr i fy etholwyr i, ond a fyddech chi'n cytuno nad yw cynnig y Canghellor i aelwydydd sy'n wynebu'r argyfwng costau byw yn ddigon ac, yn wir, ei fod yn sarhaus, o gofio ei fod i gael ei dalu o'r toriad i…
