Okay. And do you think that governors would benefit from training in this area?

Peer-on-peer sexual harassment among learners—evidence session 3
Can I just follow that up? I think that's absolutely right. Is there not a danger of inconsistency across Wales? Because it's still going to be the responsibility of teachers, the teaching workforce, to engage with and draw in those professionals, and there…

Peer-on-peer sexual harassment among learners—evidence session 3
Thank you, Chair, good morning. You've already talked, I think, quite extensively about the relative lack of appropriate educational awareness and understanding as a factor in young people's unhealthy attitudes, but what do you make of the new curriculum? How…

Thanks, Chair, and, again, I'm conscious of time, but just an opportunity, really, for our guests today to be able to make any direct recommendations they'd like to see in our report, and would they be able to share with us any suggestions for what the Welsh…

Okay. Thanks, Jack. Thanks, Ben. Back to you, Chair.

Actually, Jack, any further information that you might be able to extract would be really helpful regarding monitoring. And also confirmation of whether there's been an evaluation at all of the Nest helpline, and if so, what the findings are. I don't expect…

Thanks, Ben. I'm just going to ask a question of Jack, if that's okay, and it's just regarding referrals experiencing barriers to receiving support from Nest, or having difficulty engaging fully. Is it monitored? Is it being monitored? What's your assessment?

Thanks, both; really, really intriguing answers. I'm going to just move on to talk specifically about Nest and the eligibility criteria for support. Do you think that the use of these EPC ratings and means-tested benefits is the right approach? Do you think…

Fuel poverty and the Warm Homes programme: Evidence session 4
Thank you, Chair. We've asked this same question to a number of people who have given evidence, and it concerns the current programme and whether it reflects the needs of rural households that are fuel poor. What's your view on this? And do you think there…

I should seek advice from them for my house as well, then. Thank you. Thanks very much. Back to you, Chair.

There are some really specialist skills requirements as well, particularly when you have grade I and grade II* listed buildings; they become incredibly tough to retrofit and to work on. But that's another line of questions for other experts, I guess, within…

Thank you. And is there any sort of estimate you might have, or even a guesstimate, regarding the levels of funding that would be required to bring those inefficient off-grid households to efficient standards whilst also obviously reducing reliance on fossil…

That's really helpful. Thank you. And maybe, as a committee, we can make inquiries with BEIS regarding any considerations that they're having in terms of absorbing the cost within general taxation. Can I move on to ask about the current programme and how it…

The widespread use of smart meters, as you say, could be very helpful as one part of change to EPC processes. That's really interesting. Sorry, Dr Brown, can I just ask one question you may know the answer to? I certainly don't. Are you aware of discussions…
