Thank you very much. Did anybody else want to come in on that one as well?

Inquiry into violence against women, domestic abuse, and sexual violence—migrant women: ministerial evidence session
Thank you very much, Minister. Now onto some questions about data sharing. So, when we heard evidence from BAWSO, they did highlight examples of women with no recourse to public funds being referred to social services, and then they've reported them to the…

Inquiry into violence against women, domestic abuse, and sexual violence—migrant women: ministerial evidence session
Thank you very much, and thank you, all, for being here today. I'm going to ask some questions about data collection. To begin with, do you think that the data currently provides a robust picture of the needs of migrant women and girls who've experienced or…

Thank you very much. Thank you, Chair.

Inquiry into violence against women, domestic abuse, and sexual violence—migrant women: evidence session 4
Just one last question, sorry, Chair. We have heard evidence that a lot of people who work, like you've mentioned, BAWSO and other agencies, don't actually feel that, as you said, because of language barriers, because the person who's come to you is in such a…

Inquiry into violence against women, domestic abuse, and sexual violence—migrant women: evidence session 4
So, just to clarify: what I mean is that, when you or your officers meet with the victims and, obviously, you then make a note of what they told you about the abuse that they've suffered, and this is obviously, then, collected as data, is that explained to…

Inquiry into violence against women, domestic abuse, and sexual violence—migrant women: evidence session 4
Okay. And you mentioned about the rules around GDPR and data sharing, so how is this communicated to victims? Do you get their consent to be able to collect their data when they come to you?
, Equality and Social Justice Committee
Inquiry into violence against women, domestic abuse, and sexual violence—migrant women: evidence session 4
Can you give us an example, then, of that exception?
, Equality and Social Justice Committee
Inquiry into violence against women, domestic abuse, and sexual violence—migrant women: evidence session 4
And even in these multi-agency meetings that you have, you wouldn't discuss their immigration status.
, Equality and Social Justice Committee
Inquiry into violence against women, domestic abuse, and sexual violence—migrant women: evidence session 4
Yes. So, what you're saying is that, no, you would never share the immigration status of somebody who had come to you who had been a victim.
, Equality and Social Justice Committee
Inquiry into violence against women, domestic abuse, and sexual violence—migrant women: evidence session 4
If somebody comes to you and says that they have been the victim of sexual or gender-based violence, would you then, under any circumstances, share their immigration status with any other agencies outside of the police force?

Inquiry into violence against women, domestic abuse, and sexual violence—migrant women: evidence session 4
Thank you very much for being here this morning to answer our questions. I just wanted to ask a few about the immigration status and data sharing. In what circumstances would the police share the immigration status of victims of sexual and gender-based…

Social Partnership and Public Procurement (Wales) Bill: ministerial evidence session
Thank you very much. And also—you touched on this a little bit earlier on, so it's good to ask this now as well—the Bill amends the well-being of future generations Act so that public bodies covered by that Act are required to consider fair work, pursuing the…

Social Partnership and Public Procurement (Wales) Bill: ministerial evidence session
Yes, that was a good question to come in on now. The question is: the draft Bill included a fair work duty on Welsh Ministers, to set fair work objectives, to take steps to achieve these and then to report back annually on the progress. For what reasons have…

Social Partnership and Public Procurement (Wales) Bill: ministerial evidence session
I'll come back in here and just be honest and say that that's still very much sounding to me like the process. So, a tangible measurement, then, if we're saying that this should be about workers having more of a voice would be that there are fewer…

Social Partnership and Public Procurement (Wales) Bill: ministerial evidence session
I think what I meant by my first two questions is not so much the clarifying of the position, though. What I'm asking is: well, how do we measure its success? What is its overall objective? I'm not suggesting that we lift legislation from other countries…

Social Partnership and Public Procurement (Wales) Bill: ministerial evidence session
Yes, all good. Thank you very much. So, as we know, social partnership models are not new; they started to come about around the first world war and then really took off in Europe after the second world war. So, Belgium, from the 1940s, Austria, the 1940s and…
