Part of 3. 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Education – in the Senedd at 3:25 pm on 6 July 2016.
Thank you. I am, of course, very aware of the work that is done by you as a governor and by others at Trinity Fields. I’m also aware that the school has been recognised by Estyn in the annual report as having sector-leading practice, and I think that that is something to celebrate again. It’s fantastic to see the work that is being done by schools up and down Wales.
The Cabinet Secretary did reply to an earlier question, saying that the additional learning needs Bill will be published in due course and will provide an opportunity, then, for us to debate and discuss how we deliver and how we ensure that we have the right statutory framework to underpin the delivery of this work. I can assure the Member for Caerphilly that we will ensure that the transition from education into adulthood is better planned and supported, and I would be more than happy to continue to have that conversation, both in terms of the legislation that we will be drafting and putting before the National Assembly, but also in terms of how that support is delivered outside of the statutory framework.
