Debate: The Second Supplementary Budget 2021-22
I'll be extremely brief. Minister, with the additional £100 million going into health boards to help with waiting-list times, can we have some assurances that that money will actually go to the front line to make sure we actually do tackle NHS waiting-list…

Peer-on-peer sexual harassment among learners—evidence session 5
Lovely. Thank you very much for that, Sally. I've got one final question, and that's around school uniforms, and particularly girls, and how much do you think they actually play a part in the sexual harassment of girls in schools, and what do you think…

Peer-on-peer sexual harassment among learners—evidence session 5
Apologies for that, Chair, I had to give away my charger, that's all. How effectively do you believe that local authorities and education establishments record incidents and how effectively do you think that they actually use that data to help inform decision…

Peer-on-peer sexual harassment among learners—evidence session 5
Thank you, Cadeirydd. Nice to see you again, Sally. I'm just thinking, to what extent are schools, colleges, pupil referral units, local authorities and governors fully aware of the problems around peer-to-peer sexual harassment? Is the problem mainly one…

Peer-on-peer sexual harassment among learners—evidence session 4
Thank you, Chair. It's not my prerogative when you say, 'Can I come in?'; it's your meeting, Chair. It would be remiss of me to say 'no', even. I've got two final questions and I will try and be brief on the last one in the interests of time, Chair. But on…

Peer-on-peer sexual harassment among learners—evidence session 4
That, probably, actually, leads lovely on to my next question, actually. Do you think that colleges right across Wales—I know you said they have—do take this seriously, and, actually, when incidents are reported, that they are being dealt with, that, because…

Peer-on-peer sexual harassment among learners—evidence session 4
[Inaudible.]—I turned it to unmute, and I should leave it alone. Just another quick question: do you actually think there is enough of an understanding within the staff body and colleges to actually what constitutes sexual harassment? Because there can be…

Peer-on-peer sexual harassment among learners—evidence session 4
Lovely. Thank you for that. The age profile and the demographic of people and young learners who do attend colleges are older, obviously, than high school, so where do you believe the responsibility and perhaps the role of colleges differs to schools—I mean…

[Inaudible.]—I'm having an unmuting row with the host. Thank you. I do apologise. I seem to be the one who asks the awkward questions this morning. I apologise in advance, Maxine. I just want to know: do you think colleges are fully aware of the problem of…

My question is to Sharon, actually, and it's on the online safety and harms Bill that's going through the UK Parliament at the minute. I just want to know what discussions you may have had with the Local Government Association in England, because I know they…

Peer-on-peer sexual harassment among learners—evidence session 3
This is my final point, Cadeirydd, if that's okay. To what extent do you believe that parents and carers need to be involved in dealing with the children's actions and behaviours on sexual harassment? Do you think that those people are engaged enough with the…

Peer-on-peer sexual harassment among learners—evidence session 3
Do you think it's because some schools don't report these things properly, or don't follow them through, and then people turn around and think, 'What's the point of reporting it because the school isn't going to take it seriously anyway?' Do you think there…

Peer-on-peer sexual harassment among learners—evidence session 3
Thank you for that. I think it's right what you say about society. I'm well aware of a case within my own patch of a female that kept texting a boy, asking for indecent pictures of him. He kept saying no, and when he actually said, 'I'm going to report this'…

Peer-on-peer sexual harassment among learners—evidence session 3
Diolch, Cadeirydd. I've got a couple of questions. I want to know to what extent you believe that local authorities, schools, PRUs, governors, and, more importantly, pupils, are aware of the problem of peer-on-peer sexual harassment. And why do you think that…

Peer-on-peer sexual harassment among learners—evidence session 3
Yes, I did want to come in on this point about how peers can actually help in schools. I had an amazing talk with a young chap yesterday, because of my mental health brief, around actually having other—. We talked about males earlier and, actually, how…

Peer-on-peer sexual harassment among learners—evidence session 2
Yes, I've got one final question. It's actually on social media, so I'm glad we've gone down this bit of a rabbit hole at the minute. I know you said that legislation's wide enough on this, Amanda. One thing I do worry about is that people fake their age—they…
, Children, Young People, and Education Committee

Thank you for that. So, in your opinion, then, do you think that the current legal framework and the criminal justice system do enough to deal with sexual harassment towards younger people?

Peer-on-peer sexual harassment among learners—evidence session 2
Thank you, Chair. I know some of the questions that you've already answered have answered some of the things that I'm going to ask, but I'll try and go on a different tack, a little bit. Community school liaison officers through the police, I think, do do a…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Housing
Housing is something really close to my heart, as a previous cabinet member for housing who delivered over 250 homes in Powys. It is something I'm very, very keen to talk about. So, since the election here 10 months ago, we have frequently debated housing in…

Thank you, Minister. You answered some of the questions I was going to ask in an earlier response to Peter Fox, but what I do want to touch on, Minister, is the fact that you stated that the budget for compensation has been overspent almost every year since…
