The Member is right to raise this issue and it does concern me also. I’ve asked my team to look at the implications of that report and how much more we can do, not with just this department, but also through educational support within the school setting and in third sector organisations in relation to how we engage with young people and listen to their views. Often, the older generation do things at children because they think it’s the right thing to do, rather than listening to what the action should be. We’re in that space now of engaging with young people and listening to what has an impact on their lives.
