I think Oliver just wanted to come in.

Thank you for explaining that very clearly. Sarah Murphy, can I ask you to come in at this point?

The public health approach to preventing gender-based violence: evidence session 2
Okay. It's quite—. It can be disempowering to think of—. It's so complicated, and so many issues are interrelated, how do we develop that community cohesion and connection to each other in framing a public health approach when society is so fragmented, so…

Thank you. Is there anything you wanted to add on that, Jen?
, Equality and Social Justice Committee
The public health approach to preventing gender-based violence: evidence session 2
Thank you. So, is there anything you want to add about how we respond to and prevent gender-based violence in the way we're applying that trauma-informed and relational health approach?
, Equality and Social Justice Committee
The public health approach to preventing gender-based violence: evidence session 2
Thank you for the clarity of that answer. Oliver, how does applying a trauma-informed and relational health lens change how we prevent and respond to gender-based violence, in your experience?

Prynhawn da. Welcome back to the Equality and Social Justice Committee. We are resuming our inquiry into gender-based violence. This afternoon, in this session, we've got Dr Jen Daffin, community clinical psychologist for Psychologists for Social…

Thank you very much indeed for your evidence, which was very clear on what is quite a complex framework that you're setting out. Very ambitious. We will send you a transcript of your evidence, so if there's anything that we've not heard correctly, please do…

I don't need to know the names of individual children, obviously, but if 450 of the 1,000 were young people, that's great, but if you'd just give us a list of either the organisations or sets of individuals who were involved, that would be really helpful…

Is it possible to just send us a note of who were these stakeholders?
, Equality and Social Justice Committee
The public health approach to preventing gender-based violence: evidence session 1
Thank you. And finally from me, I just wondered if you could tell me who were the stakeholders who were involved in developing the four-step model that you've outlined in your paper. Is this three organisations or 30? How many stakeholders were actually…

Thank you. Could I now call on Sioned Williams to come in? I think you were going to go first.

The public health approach to preventing gender-based violence: evidence session 1
Very good. Clearly, there's a great deal happening in our schools and colleges, not least around the new curriculum, which is promoting relationships, values and ethics, as well as the relationships and sexuality education. But, clearly, schools aren't an…

Thank you for that. Plan International UK is going to be giving evidence at a later session, and they're emphasising that adolescence is a time of elevated vulnerability for multiple forms of violence against girls and young women. I don't think most people…

Well, what was the evidence base for investing money in an advertising campaign and then, obviously, how much has that influenced the procurement of a new bystander training programme?
, Equality and Social Justice Committee
The public health approach to preventing gender-based violence: evidence session 1
Thank you. I just want to ask you about some specific interventions. The 'Don't be a bystander' campaign has been run by the Welsh Government for, I think, about six months, and I just wondered whether Public Health Wales was involved in helping to shape…

The public health approach to preventing gender-based violence: evidence session 1
Okay. I agree that this is not Daily Mail stuff. [Laughter.] Just finally from me, could you tell me how well you think the VAWDASV strategy understands the complexity of reaching different diverse communities, such as those you've outlined, so that we're…

The public health approach to preventing gender-based violence: evidence session 1
Okay. Just to put some slightly counter views to you: Dr Burrell, of Durham University, supports the public health approach, but says that the gendered roots of violence against women and girls must remain front and centre. Is that something you agree with…

So, you're saying that 'ask and act' only applies to the health service, not to the education service, the housing service, or anything else?
, Equality and Social Justice Committee
The public health approach to preventing gender-based violence: evidence session 1
Okay. Just very briefly, what's the difference between the serious violence duty and the 'ask and act' that we talk about, colloquially?
, Equality and Social Justice Committee
The public health approach to preventing gender-based violence: evidence session 1
Thank you. So, how well are public and private sector organisations engaging with understanding this public health approach?
