Peer-on-peer sexual harassment among learners—evidence session 8
Hello, both. Good to be with you. I just want to talk a little bit about awareness, or ask some questions about awareness and management of the problem. And I’ve got a flavour already from Kelly, I think, about some of the pressures in schools, but I just…

That's really helpful, Mary. Thank you. Does anybody else want to contribute on that before I finish? Yes, Rebecca.

Peer-on-peer sexual harassment among learners—evidence session 7
Yes. Anybody else want to add on that? No. I get the point on the training element, so I won't push any further on that. I think there's a gap there—that whole-school approach and that need to have a consistent approach right across the whole local government…

So, on that consistency perspective, then, would it be variable across schools, so some schools are doing well on this? I suppose there are challenges for LEAs—different LEAs take different approaches to lead on this sort of thing. I'm trying to really…

Thank you for that. Would there be a consistency across schools in their understanding of this? I mean, Mairead, you talked earlier about the inadequacy of school policies, perhaps, around this as well. How would you sum up that picture? Is it variable?

So, Chris, would you concur that the policies are in place to start dealing with that safeguarding? It is a safeguarding issue, isn't it?

Thanks for that. I'm going to wrap three questions into one a bit here, really, because I'm conscious of time. How—? Is there a deep enough awareness throughout the school staff as well? That's a role for school leaders, to make sure that everybody's on the…

Hello, good morning, all. It's great to be part of this discussion, and as a father of grown-up kids and now with seven grandchildren, I've seen many changes in societal behaviour over many years, and I recognise these changes, and it worries me that we need…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Food Security
Diolch, acting Llywydd. And for the record, I would like to declare that I am a practicing farmer—in fact, I'm looking at cattle outside the window as I sit here. Can I thank my colleague Sam Kurtz for bringing forward this important and very timely debate?…

Instruments that raise issues to be reported to the Senedd under Standing Order 21.2 or 21.3
Just for clarity, would an equality impact assessment have to be done for this? We're waiting for some response regarding equality, but is that a full-depth equality impact assessment we're expecting?
