Peer-on-peer sexual harassment among learners—evidence session 4
No, there was a point that needed to be made, and you completely covered it there, so thank you for that. Just one last question: have you got targeted support for groups, for example LGBT or those with learning difficulties, or whatever it might be? How does…

Peer-on-peer sexual harassment among learners—evidence session 4
Thank you very much. From those records and the data that you've collected, then, does that show you some sort of pattern? You said that online platforms were the biggest problem from what you saw. To what extent do you think that these incidents are driven…

Thank you for that. I just want to bring you back to—we've already alluded to it—the causes and impact of peer-on-peer sexual harassment. You've acknowledged previously that the problem exists in FE, and obviously there's a problem with the recording of…

I completely agree with what you said there, Sharon. As a parent myself, I found it really hard to monitor particularly my son's content during the pandemic, and that's obviously something that we've seen. And we heard from another evidence session that there…

Thank you for that. Obviously, there are many contributing factors to this problem that we're seeing now, but to what extent do you think it's driven by what children and young people are accessing online? You alluded to it then, the exposure to harmful and…

Thank you, Chair. Just quickly following on from that, and from what James actually said, about when you're in school, having the first point of contact problem, I'm very aware, having been an advocate for mental health first aiders, as was mentioned just…

Peer-on-peer sexual harassment among learners—evidence session 2
Thank you. Yes, thank you for that. That's a very valid point, actually, because we know that people were online much more during those lockdowns—children—and it wasn't as 'policed' I want to say, but you're the police, within the households as much, because…

Peer-on-peer sexual harassment among learners—evidence session 2
Yes. Thank you. This is obviously—. It's obviously a wider societal issue as well, but just going back to the end of my question, how do you see parents' role in this, and do you think that they're getting enough support to be able to support their children…

Thank you, Chair. Yes, I just want to ask about the causes and impact of peer-on-peer social harassment now. The youth offending team have just given some excellent examples of what he thought were causes, but I just wanted to ask all of you: what do you…

Questions to the Minister for Education and Welsh Language
Thank you, Minister. Now moving to a more sobering subject, but an important one to address today, Minister, the situation in Ukraine is heartbreaking, and certainly not something I'm sure any of us thought we'd ever see again in Europe. It was made clear…

Questions to the Minister for Education and Welsh Language
Thank you, Minister. I'll just repeat: by contrast, in England, there were noticeable increases in French and Spanish from 2019-20, and that, since records began, Spanish has increased to 100,000 plus. It's completely different to our numbers, which are…

Questions to the Minister for Education and Welsh Language
Diolch, Llywydd. Minister, I think we both share a desire for education to be futureproof in Wales, especially at a time post-Brexit, which is presenting and will present so many international opportunities going forward. We need to ensure that pupils from…

Short Debate: Regenerating town and city centres in Wales: More of the same will simply not work
The pandemic cannot foot all the blame, though; things were definitely not rosy before the pandemic. For over a decade, our high streets have been battered by the perfect storm of recession, rising business rates and increased competition online. We see the…

I don't want to step on your toes, Joel, but on that specifically, my experience in school is that you don't really want to tell things like that to such an authoritative figure. I'm an ambassador for the Where's Your Head At? mental health campaign, and they…
