Mental Health support in Higher Education—evidence session 6
Yes. You've said—you've touched on—that there should be a national framework. It feels to me a bit like the national curriculum—the framework is there and we want the outcome and they can individually decide how to get there. I think that's quite a good idea.

Debate on the Children, Young People and Education Committee’s Report—'Everybody’s affected: Peer on peer sexual harassment among learners'
Yes, absolutely. A very important point made by my colleague there. What is worrying also is that the numbers that we've seen, and the evidence that we've gathered, are probably underestimating the problem of what we're seeing. Further still, whilst Estyn did…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, First Minister. It's interesting, what you said, and I just want to note that the Welsh Conservatives fully support degree apprenticeships, and, in fact, we go further than the current policy. But, First Minister, a few weeks ago, I stood here and…
