10. Short Debate: Free period products: The need to legislate to ensure that everyone who needs these products has access, wherever they live in Wales ( 9 Nov 2022)

Heledd Fychan: Thank you, Dirprwy Lywydd. I'd like to confirm that I have given a minute of my time to Sioned Williams today. Every day, around the world, it is estimated that 300 million people bleed due to menstruation. It's a completely normal act—as normal as going to the bathroom—but for far too long, talking about periods has been taboo. Indeed, despite the fact that there has been more open...

8. Plaid Cymru Debate: Global impact of domestic consumption ( 9 Nov 2022)

Heledd Fychan: Wales has a long history of internationalism. Solidarity movements have existed for generations, with communities as far afield as Somaliland, as we know from Wales's coal-trading history and long-settled diaspora; Lesotho, through Dolen Cymru, founded in 1982, which after all was the world's first nation-to-nation twinning; and Uganda, where several charities have worked over four decades....

2. Business Statement and Announcement ( 8 Nov 2022)

Heledd Fychan: Trefnydd, you and other Members will be aware, I'm sure, of the outcomes of the survey of NAHT Cymru, which were published today, which conveyed a very concerning picture in terms of the pressure on school budgets. We heard last week that the idea of teaching online for one day a week had been mentioned in Powys, and, in terms of the survey, that headteachers were considering job losses, as...

6. Motion under Standing Order 26.91 seeking the Senedd's agreement to introduce a Member Bill — Outdoor Education (Wales) Bill (26 Oct 2022)

Heledd Fychan: I don't avidly follow your Twitter or Facebook, I have to admit; I like to look after my blood pressure. [Laughter.] But I have seen the research that you've referenced, and, certainly, we can all relay the countless benefits there are from outdoor education. Many of us, as Huw mentioned, have had the pleasure of being in Llangrannog, Glan-llyn—all those are invaluable experiences, and we...

1. Questions to the Minister for Finance and Local Government: Statutory Services in South Wales Central (26 Oct 2022)

Heledd Fychan: Thank you, Minister. I was referencing, in particular, the authorities within my region. 

1. Questions to the Minister for Finance and Local Government: Statutory Services in South Wales Central (26 Oct 2022)

Heledd Fychan: One essential statutory provision is social services, and, specifically, care. We know that there are huge problems when it comes to recruiting carers. As a result, more and more individuals are becoming unpaid carers in order to look after their loved ones, and they face financial hardship as a result. Have there been any discussions with the Welsh Local Government Association in terms of...

1. Questions to the Minister for Finance and Local Government: Statutory Services in South Wales Central (26 Oct 2022)

Heledd Fychan: 5. How is the Welsh Government supporting local authorities in South Wales Central to maintain their statutory services? OQ58625

9. Debate: The Children's Commissioner for Wales's Annual Report 2021-22 (18 Oct 2022)

Heledd Fychan: May I echo the words that have already been expressed in terms of thanking Sally Holland for her tenure over seven years? I think her parting lecture, as well, was food for thought for many of us, reflecting on the challenges that she believed still faced so many children and young people. I would also like to welcome the new children's commissioner, who has shown already in her role that she...

2. Business Statement and Announcement (18 Oct 2022)

Heledd Fychan: Trefnydd, last week, it was announced that the Minister for Climate Change had approved a planning appeal that means the life of Craig yr Hesg quarry in my region, as well as the area quarried, will be extended. This is despite significant local objections and the fact that Rhondda Cynon Taf council's planning committee had rejected both applications. I would, therefore, like to request a...

9. Short Debate: Education maintenance allowance: A lifeline in the current crisis (12 Oct 2022)

Heledd Fychan: Thank you, Luke, for bringing forward this debate today.

9. Short Debate: Education maintenance allowance: A lifeline in the current crisis (12 Oct 2022)

Heledd Fychan: It is a lifeline for many. We cannot underestimate how important it is. One of the things that I'm really pleased that you've emphasised today is in terms of the eligibility criteria, because one of the things that has been brought up with me, from those whose young people within families are completely reliant on the EMA, has been the eligibility criteria when that young person is a carer....

7. Plaid Cymru Debate: The private rental sector (12 Oct 2022)

Heledd Fychan: I've only just started, Janet. If I can carry on, and if you still want to intervene on something I've said—. But just to respond to Sam Rowlands: of course we need to be building more homes, but that's not going to solve things for people who are homeless now, where there are inadequate solutions now. And we know already that families have been struggling to make ends meet in recent years...

7. Plaid Cymru Debate: The private rental sector (12 Oct 2022)

Heledd Fychan: What we're discussing today are urgent actions to support a crisis that we are all seeing. People are being made homeless now. More people will become homeless this winter—

4. 90-second Statements (12 Oct 2022)

Heledd Fychan: Such groups are so important to support parents, and I'm sure that my fellow Members will agree that we need to support local organisations and initiatives in our communities that offer this kind of support that saves lives. Indeed, I received a very warm welcome by the Metalidads and derived great benefit from meeting them.

4. 90-second Statements (12 Oct 2022)

Heledd Fychan: To end with a frequently used quote by the Fathers of Metal, 'whether it's whammy bars or weaning, Napalm Death or nappies...it's always good to talk.' Rock on.

4. 90-second Statements (12 Oct 2022)

Heledd Fychan: Thank you, Llywydd. Bearing in mind that it was World Mental Health Day on 10 October, I would like to take the opportunity today to celebrate one particular group in my region, namely the Metalidads.

4. 90-second Statements (12 Oct 2022)

Heledd Fychan: The Metalidads, also known as the Fathers of Metal, bring together that holy trinity of fatherhood, mental health and heavy metal and meet twice weekly in the town of Barry to encourage local dads to get out of the house and away from the children and partners in order to form new friendships and get involved in fun activities and initiatives such as beach litter picks, fundraising for local...

1. Questions to the Minister for Education and the Welsh Language: Sustainable Schools Challenge (12 Oct 2022)

Heledd Fychan: Thank you, Minister. Certainly, I will be asking you to commit to ensuring that these two schools are Welsh-medium schools or ones that will become Welsh-medium schools. Clearly, it is vitally important. We discussed last week the 'Cymraeg 2050' report and the need for investment in Welsh-medium schools if we are to reach that target of a million Welsh speakers. But, at the same time, bearing...

1. Questions to the Minister for Education and the Welsh Language: Sustainable Schools Challenge (12 Oct 2022)

Heledd Fychan: 4. What are the Welsh Government's expectations regarding the language category of the two new innovative schools under its sustainable schools challenge? OQ58540
