Do disabled children and young people have equal access to education and childcare? - Evidence session 10
Thank you. Just finally from me, Chair, a question about ALN reforms. Would you agree that they are being implemented on an inconsistent basis across Wales, and do you think they're having, so far, a positive or negative impact on learners, or is it just too…

Do disabled children and young people have equal access to education and childcare? - Evidence session 9
