Children, Young People, and Education Committee

We'll move on to the first item on our agenda, which is papers to note. There are five papers to note this morning, and these papers and the details are set out on the agenda and in the meeting papers. Are Members content to note these papers?

Can I just ask a question, Chair?

Yes, of course, Sam.

It's just on paper to note 5, talking about elective home education. I'm somebody who was home educated through choice for a number of years, so I'm just interested to know where the committee—just for personal interest—is looking to take some of this work the Government is doing, and how that's going to be communicated with the Senedd.

Thank you, Sam. So, all the papers that we have are published in public, but, for us, it's some of the work that we've been doing outside of our other committee work and our inquiry, so we are following with interest these subjects.

Okay. So, is it—? Sorry, is there a specific piece of work coming up on elective home education that the committee's doing?

Not at the moment, no—it's just some of the work that we're doing to just find out information that the committee has a particular interest in.

All right. Lovely, thanks.

Thank you, Sam.

Okay, so we'll now move on to the next item, which is the motion under Standing Order 17.42 to exclude the public from the remainder of the meeting and for item 1 of the next meeting. So, I propose in accordance with Standing Order 17.42 that the committee resolves to meet in private for the remainder of the meeting and for item 1 of the meeting on 16 June. Are Members content? Okay. I see all Members are content. So, we will now move to private session.
