Thank you very much. And then, I have another question in terms of funding and budgets. We heard from you that there is a challenge in terms of the budget for your office. You discussed this subject with the Government. We have an interest in terms of whether…

Women's experiences in the criminal justice system—evidence session 4
Thank you very much, and focusing on mental health, for example, and detoxification, we heard from these women about their concerns about what was going to happen. And also the final final question: approved accommodation—there's none of that in Wales. What's…

Yes, thank you very much. A final question from me now, and that is about the access out of custody that the women have. We've heard that there is a challenge and there are some problems in terms of women having access to housing that is effective and also…

Women's experiences in the criminal justice system—evidence session 4
Thank you very much, Minister. One of the things that we heard in Styal, when we were there, was the fact that mothers don't have enough time with their children. PACT were there—I'm not sure whether you've heard about PACT, but they were working very…

Women's experiences in the criminal justice system—evidence session 4
Yes, thank you very much, Chair. I have two questions, the first focusing on children—that is, children of parents who are in custody. Could you give us some kind of plan in terms of what you understand regarding how children and parents can keep in contact…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Independent review of children’s social care
Sorry. Thank you so much. Is it not the case though that there has not been a review in Wales of child protection services? I do hear there have been reviews of looked-after children and of care-experienced children, but what we're talking about here is a…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Independent review of children’s social care
Many of you know that I've worked in child protection for around 25 years, and I did work during the COVID period. And I would like to be clear that, in terms of my reading of the report on Logan Mwangi, I cannot see any reason that the COVID restrictions at…
