General scrutiny session with the Minister for Education and Welsh Language
The journey to curriculum roll-out states that learners' well-being is a critical enabler of learning. Learners who are not content, safe and secure will not learn effectively. The teamwork on embedding a whole-school approach to emotional and mental…

I did. I had lots of questions I wanted to ask the Minister, unfortunately. Just one more then, before we leave, if the Minister has time.

Thank you.

General scrutiny session with the Minister for Education and Welsh Language
Thank you. I know the Chair is conscious of time, so I'll just ask one last question: what contribution will the new Welsh language education Bill make to reaching the Cymraeg 2050 target of 1 million Welsh speakers?

General scrutiny session with the Minister for Education and Welsh Language
As the Minister just touched on, I know the beginning of the three-year implementation of the new ALN system has started; will the Minister provide an update on the roll-out of the new ALN system and outline what support—more specifically, mental health…

Thank you, Minister—Chair. There are many changes due to be made within your portfolio over the course of the sixth Senedd term. These changes will affect the education and the health and well-being of pre-16 school pupils. I know the Minister has announced…

Yes. Could we let the petitioners know then what the Minister comes back to us with?

That would be good.

I think the new curriculum has a good coverage now of these teachings. I think it's so important that this is addressed in schools—I really, really do. I'm not quite sure where else we can go with this petition now, though, because Welsh Government have…

I just totally agree with everything Luke said then. It's really challenging, isn't it? But I don't know where else we can go with this now, unfortunately. I wish there was something more we could do.

I know Natalie as well. I didn't realise that I did, until Joel said, but I do know her really well. Yes, I agree with everything Joel just said. Yes.

I was going to say more or less what you said. Yes, definitely, I agree with you. I think we should write back and just express our disappointment. Definitely.

What were you going to say, Jack? Sorry.

Yes, please. Chair, I think that maybe this petition has got a little bit lost through COVID. I think we need to really think hard about how children who are home schooled are treated. There are lots and lots and lots of different reasons why children are…

I totally agree with you, but I think if it's going to be done, it's got to be done the right way.

My only fear with that is when a community actively buys a building, (1) where will that extra money come from from Government to buy the building? And then, once they have purchased the building, they have no support then. If you buy a building, you are on…

I know most local authorities now run an asset-transfer project. I know because I was part of one myself, and it does help communities to take ownership of buildings that councils no longer use or have a need for, and that brings it back into community…

Updates to previous petitions
Yes, I also know the petitioner. He's been given opportunity to come back, and he hasn't. So, I don't think it's really our place to chase the petitioners. I think we should agree there's no clear action to be taken here and close the petition.

Updates to previous petitions
I was just going to say exactly what Joel said, really. But I do think, with the care homes—some are owned privately, and some are owned by the local authority, and there's always a discrepancy there. So, I think we've got to be really careful going forward…

Could we write to the Minister for Climate Change and get some feedback on this petition, then, to see exactly what's happening? I think that would be a way forward.

Yes, maybe we should put a pin in it, like Joel said, and then come back and have another look at it later on.

Circumstances have changed considerably since this petition was submitted. All hospitality are now able to open and operate as normal. So, I think we should thank the petitioner for submitting the petition and close this petition.

New Petitions
As the restrictions have been lifted now, I think that the committee can agree to thank the petitioner and close this petition. I don't think it's relevant now. I don't know how everybody else feels.

Updates to previous petitions
I agree with Joel. I think that we've exhausted all avenues here, and like Joel said, we could end up to-ing and fro-ing again, but for how long? So, I'd be happy to close the petition if other Members would be.
