4. Statement by the Deputy Minister for Social Services: Real Living Wage for Social Care Workers (15 Feb 2022)

Julie Morgan: Diolch, and thank you very much for those very positive comments and your welcome for this as a step towards the—a step in the right direction, shall we say? I absolutely support the comments that the Member has made. We do want to reach parity of pay and respect. We know what a hugely responsible job care workers are doing, and we do see this, again, as, I say, a first step on that...

4. Statement by the Deputy Minister for Social Services: Real Living Wage for Social Care Workers (15 Feb 2022)

Julie Morgan: Well, I thank Gareth Davies for those remarks, and I think I'm rather amazed at his attitude towards this announcement. This is certainly a first step towards improving the lot of social care workers, and it has been widely welcomed, as has the £1,000 payment. So, I'm very surprised at his attitude to this statement today. Why have we paid £9.90? This was a commitment in our programme for...

4. Statement by the Deputy Minister for Social Services: Real Living Wage for Social Care Workers (15 Feb 2022)

Julie Morgan: In December, I announced we would pay the real living wage of £9.90 per hour to registered social care workers in care homes and domiciliary care, in both adults' and children’s services, and to personal assistants funded through direct payments. Focusing on these workers recognises our broader ambition to improve the quality of services and strive for parity of esteem with other key...

4. Statement by the Deputy Minister for Social Services: Real Living Wage for Social Care Workers (15 Feb 2022)

Julie Morgan: Diolch. I'm very pleased to be able to update Members of the Senedd on the tremendous progress we've made towards paying social care workers in Wales the real living wage, one of our key priorities in the programme for government. In June I made a statement on the approach I would take to implementing this commitment and explained I would be asking the social care fair work forum for its...

6. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Adverse childhood experiences ( 2 Feb 2022)

Julie Morgan: I had a meeting, actually, yesterday, with the ACEs team, where they described the individual research that they were doing, and it seemed to me that they were measuring in that research what the impact of ACEs was and what progress it was making. So, I think perhaps we should look at that in more detail, because they're definitely doing a lot of research on those lines. But, as I said, I...

6. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Adverse childhood experiences ( 2 Feb 2022)

Julie Morgan: Yes, certainly. 

6. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Adverse childhood experiences ( 2 Feb 2022)

Julie Morgan: Diolch. Welsh Ministers are committed to protecting and supporting the health and well-being of all children and young people in Wales. Wales has led the way on tackling adverse childhood experiences. Public Health Wales's findings about their prevalence and impact showed us the personal, social and economic impact that ACEs could have on individuals, their families and society as a whole....

Julie Morgan: Formally.

2. Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services: Personal Protective Equipment for Care Workers (19 Jan 2022)

Julie Morgan: Thank you very much, Mabon, for that question, and, obviously, this is of great importance to your constituent. I think the best way of dealing with the individual situation is perhaps if you write in about that situation. We will take it up to look at the specific circumstances that you're referring to. Certainly, enhanced PPE, such as FFP3 face masks, is recommended in instances where a...

2. Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services: Personal Protective Equipment for Care Workers (19 Jan 2022)

Julie Morgan: Thank you. The Welsh Government has already committed to providing the recommended personal protective equipment to social care workers, free of charge, until the end of the pandemic. This is managed through regular deliveries to local authorities for their onward distribution to public and private services.

2. Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (19 Jan 2022)

Julie Morgan: Thank you very much, Natasha, for that question, and thank you very much for the work that you've been doing to raise the profile of ADHD. I think it's been well publicised, and thank you for that. We know how important it is to concentrate on assessment and support for neurodevelopment conditions, which includes, of course, ADHD, and, of course, includes adults. And the review I've already...

2. Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (19 Jan 2022)

Julie Morgan: Thank you. It is vital that all children and adults with a neurodevelopmental condition, including those with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, can access the services that they need. A demand and capacity review of all neurodevelopmental services will report in March, and we will act on the recommendations it makes for improvement across Wales.

3. Topical Questions: Safeguarding Children ( 8 Dec 2021)

Julie Morgan: Absolutely right, the community have to be the eyes and ears, because it is not possible for social services officers and departments to be there and to see everything. So, it is incumbent on all of us, if we see something we're concerned about, to act on it. Obviously, the review that has been set up by the UK Government will come forward with proposals, I'm sure, and we will look very...

3. Topical Questions: Safeguarding Children ( 8 Dec 2021)

Julie Morgan: I thank Alun Davies for that very important question, and this is an issue that I have worked on closely—and am working on closely—with the Minister for education, because, obviously, it's an issue that concerns both departments. We are developing proposals that will further strengthen the existing framework around elective home education to help ensure that children who are educated at...

3. Topical Questions: Safeguarding Children ( 8 Dec 2021)

Julie Morgan: Diolch. Thank you very much for those very important questions. We will do all that we can to ensure that there is face-to-face contact with children and with families in another potential lockdown. During the previous lockdown period, we are aware that there was not face-to-face contact with many families, although it did continue with some families. Sadly, the position, really, is that we...

3. Topical Questions: Safeguarding Children ( 8 Dec 2021)

Julie Morgan: Thank you very much. In terms of the workforce, I'm sure that the Member is aware that there is extensive training for the social care workforce in Wales. The Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014 introduced strengthened and robust safeguarding arrangements for Wales. It established a national independent safeguarding board, and regional safeguarding children boards, to support...

8. Debate: Approval of the Children’s Rights Scheme ( 7 Dec 2021)

Julie Morgan: Diolch, and diolch, bawb, for your contributions to today's debate on the children's rights scheme. I'm very grateful for your continued support and scrutiny of our work, because, as Members have noted, children's rights are now more important than ever, as we've seen the profound effect the pandemic has had on children and young people, because children are less likely to be visible and less...

8. Debate: Approval of the Children’s Rights Scheme ( 7 Dec 2021)

Julie Morgan: Diolch. A couple of weeks ago it was United Nations Universal Children's Day, and I had the great pleasure of attending the Young Wales conference, which brought together young people from across Wales for a conversation with Government Ministers. It was a privilege to be part of this event. It provided me, together with the First Minister and other Cabinet Ministers, including the Minister...

2. Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services: The Social Care Sector ( 1 Dec 2021)

Julie Morgan: [Inaudible.]—funding a national advertising and social media campaign. We are supporting a range of targeted initiatives to encourage the take-up of employment in social care. We fund regional staff to support campaigns led by local authorities and by health boards.

2. Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services: The Social Care Sector ( 1 Dec 2021)

Julie Morgan: I thank Ken Skates for that question, and also thank him for his recognition of the tremendous work that has been done in the care sector during the pandemic. We were very pleased to allocate the additional £42 million allocation, and that was announced through the health and social care winter plan. And the winter plan sets out how this investment will provide community-based integrated...
