Yes. And then the last question I had is: what's your assessment of the recommendations in the Jay review of criminally exploited children, which Action for Children commissioned?

—should be devolved, yes. So, it's got a long history, certainly. But have you had any indication from the Ministers involved in Westminster that they're thinking in these terms?

Yes, and I was on the Welsh Affairs Committee in Westminster 20 years ago, and the recommendation was that youth justice—

And if youth justice is devolved, which I hope very much it will be devolved, have you got any particular sort of changes, or particular initiatives that you think we’d be able to develop here as a result of that?

Then I wondered—but I think this is to Jane probably—whether you’ve had any discussion with UK Government Ministers about recognising seeing children as victims in need of support, rather than perpetrators of crime, because that’s a key issue, isn’t it?

Children and Young People on the margins - evidence session
Right. Thanks very much for that. We've talked a lot about inter-agency working and sharing of information, and obviously it's all key to any sort of development in this area. So, could you tell us in what specific ways the Welsh Government is ensuring…

And have you been able to share yet any sort of good examples of work as a corporate parent, because obviously that's crucial to this subject?

The corporate parenting charter, and whether local authorities are embracing it.
, Children, Young People, and Education Committee
Children and Young People on the margins - evidence session
Yes, thanks very much. Just going back for a moment to the high number of young people who are care leavers who are homeless. Obviously, this does link to the corporate parenting responsibility of the local authorities, so I just wondered if you could tell…

Just quickly, in terms of—. You mentioned the social care bursary. Was the 3 per cent that you mentioned, Taryn, an increase in the number of social workers going on the courses, or what evidence have we got of how the bursary is working?

Debate on Petition P-06-1455, 'Protect the junior departments of the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama from closure'
I’m really pleased we’re having the opportunity to debate this petition here today, albeit it’s a bit after the event, because the provision has virtually closed and has gone. It’s a matter of deep regret, I think, that such a valuable, such a jewel in the…
