Thank you for that. Obviously, you've touched on the social services practitioner course, and I think this will go some way towards helping with what I'm just about to ask you, and that's that we have heard concerns from front-line practitioners that social…

Yes. Just a quick question on that earn and learn—that sounds a fantastic way forward, actually, an attractive option. Is that something that's done in other parts of the UK?

Yes, of course.

So, it comes down to numbers and making sure that we present it as a career option rather than just a part-time thing.

Okay. One of your four statutory objectives is to promote and maintain public confidence, of course, in social care workers, yet the committee have heard directly from children and young people of the huge disruption and upset that they and their families…

Thank you, Chair. During our inquiry into care-experienced children, we heard significant concerns, of course—we've already touched on it today—about unmanageable case loads in children's social services, and how they impact on social work practice. How…

Yes, absolutely. Okay, so you think the consent order is the way forward in terms of, hopefully, stopping that.

We just needed clarity on that. And in the event of non-compliance, what other options are available for families other than, of course, the expensive one that you've outlined and the far from ideal option?

Thank you. You've told us a lot about—. Compliance with orders is what I want to ask you about. You've told us about the consent order, which I think is a brilliant way forward in terms of ensuring that those things are carried out, and that you've come to…

Thank you for coming in today—we really appreciate it. It's really interesting what you say. That's what we all recognise, that the problems across Wales are the 22 different interpretations of the ALN Act. And however welcome it is, and however much the…

Yes, of course, I think it concerns us all that children are being placed in B&B settings. Even if you say it's okay for some people, there are a lot of concerns around that that I get just from my own constituency work. We know, obviously, of the housing…

But have you—? What I mean is, have you looked at it, and do you have any thoughts on it, how better we can make it, in terms of to make it easier to become—with the safeguarding still there, obviously?

I think you're very right—just from my own area, I know there's a massive problem in recruiting foster carers, bringing them in and attracting them. As you say, in a cost-of-living crisis, that's one of the problems. But with the new changes making it very…

Prif Weinidog, ers i chi ddechrau yn y swydd, gellir crynhoi addysg yng Nghymru gydag un gair: methiant. Ers i chi ddod yn Brif Weinidog, mae eich Llywodraeth wedi torri cyllidebau addysg i'r asgwrn flwyddyn ar ôl blwyddyn mewn termau arian parod—£56 miliwn…
