A yw plant a phobl ifanc anabl yn cael mynediad cyfartal at addysg a gofal plant? - Sesiwn dystiolaeth 10
Absolutely not, unfortunately. Are you recognising what, from evidence, we've seen, that because of the lack of places in special schools, there are greater—high—levels of ALN going into mainstream education, which of course exacerbates the problem that we…

Yes, thank you, Chair. Yes, firstly, how reassuring it is to hear you all recognising what we've seen from our previous evidence—not today, unfortunately, but previous evidence that we've had to the committee and from our own school visits around…

Are there any particular issues that you've come across with families with children with additional learning needs who wish to access Welsh-medium education, particularly in the secondary sector?

Thank you. To what extent are children and young people able to access specialist education provision at a specialist school or resource base without delay and in their own community?

Okay. As a parent, that's something I certainly recognise myself, and I would concur with the evidence that I've received as opposed to what you've said. So perhaps it would be worth pursuing, for sure. In terms of school admissions, to what extent are…

Thank you. The picture that we've been getting from the evidence that has come to light for us is that the majority have said that the information provided is complex, confusing, non-existent, so it's a completely different picture to what you've just…

Thank you. I'd just like to ask you about parental choice. To what extent are parents and children given adequate, accessible information about their choices in education? And how well do you think schools engage with parents of children with additional needs…

Thank you, Gaynor. Yes, well, 'complex', 'confusing', I think that's something we've all recognised from the evidence we've heard in and out of the Senedd Chamber today—Senedd building, sorry. What are you doing in terms—particularly Catherine Davies and…

I'm interested in, particularly, your role, Sharon Davies and Catherine Davies. I just wonder if you could both come back on what you see your role as in making sure parents are provided with all the choices that they do have, and if they feel their needs are…

Thank you, Chair. My questions are about choice, which is an interesting word, really. How much choice do think there actually is for parents and children out there with additional learning needs, and do you recognise the picture that, because of lack of…

I've visited a lot of schools across Wales, and following on from what Heledd Fychan just said, the picture that we're getting is much darker then you've just said to us. We're hearing and seeing headteachers noticeably upset because they can't provide the…

Sorry, I've had too much coffee this morning. In terms of what you just said in terms of they're changeable and they need to be changeable, how adaptable are these CSAs? You said you can't predict from when they're done to what happens later down the line…

Would it be down to the school to stump up the funds for that, or would that be the LA?

I'm just thinking about the one-to-one support specifically. So, the one-to-one support teacher that would be in in the school day time, are they expected to come in earlier to look after that child during the breakfast club hours, from 8 a.m. onwards?

Do you think breakfast clubs are available for all children, then, not just those without any additional learning needs? And who would pay for any additional one-to-one support that would be needed for a child with ALN to get that support they need, to be…

You mentioned breakfast clubs. So, if there were children there with specific needs, would the provision there be—? Apart from the teachers that are there running breakfast club, would there be people there that would be able to look after those children’s…

Cwestiynau i Weinidog yr Economi
Hoffwn eilio a chytuno â phopeth a ddywedodd yr Aelod dros Orllewin Casnewydd. Credaf fod castell Casnewydd bob amser wedi cael ei anwybyddu a’i danbrisio fel safle, a phan ddechreuwch ymchwilio iddo, mae’n ychwanegu at hanes diddorol iawn Casnewydd. Felly…

It's really interesting what you're saying on data sharing, encouraging—and just parental network groups because, obviously, data sharing within schools is hard. I mean, if you're organising a children's birthday party, it's impossible to get everyone's…

Going back to the training, do you not think, then, that there should be a basic understanding of ALN needs but perhaps that there does need to be some form of reactive training if there is a real specialist area? There should be that general understanding…

So, you're saying that more flexibility in the curriculum is actually—. You see it as enabling more inclusivity.
