Your comments are on the record and I will bring them to the attention of the Cabinet Secretary and we will write to you in response to that and try to do that positively; I don’t think there’s any discussion about the veracity of the points that you’ve made.

In terms of the reforms that we’re seeking to make, we want a system where needs are identified early, addressed quickly, and learners supported to reach their potential in exactly the way that has been described. We want planning to be flexible and responsive, we want skilled professionals, confident to identify the needs and able to deploy strategies to help learners overcome those barriers, and that means providing the support.

One of the conversations that I’ve been having over the last few months—these conversations are naturally and inevitably dominated by a focus on legislation; that’s inevitably the case, and I have no issue with that. But what I keep trying to say to people is, ‘Yes, we’ll change the law; yes, we will create a new statutory framework; yes, we will deliver statutory guidance; yes, we will ensure that we have the support in terms of training, workforce development, workforce planning and funding to enable people to deliver this, but, do you know what? It is a wider transformational programme that will really deliver the change.’ Yes, the new law will enable that to happen, the statutory guidance will make sure that it does happen across the country in exactly the consistency that’s been described, but, at the end of the day, we rely on skilled professionals to deliver the service. And, for me, it is that delivery that really counts. That is something that is fundamental, and fundamental to our ambitions. It is a real systems change and it is sometimes a change in culture as well. I hope that we will be able to deliver that in a way that I think that Members on all sides of the Chamber will want to see.

So, in conclusion, acting Presiding Officer, let me again repeat my commitment to working with Members on all sides of this Chamber not to challenge the points that have been made so well this afternoon, but to resolve those issues. I hope that we’ll be able to continue to work collaboratively to co-design and deliver reforms to ensure robust, sound and sustainable new systems. It includes working with new partners—with delivery partners—to enable a transition from the existing system to a new approach. That new approach, if it is to succeed, must be able to unlock the potential of our most vulnerable people, including those with dyslexia, but we know not limited to those with dyslexia. I want everybody in this country to reach their full potential. It is potentially a very exciting time and an exciting agenda. It is one that has significant challenges, but I hope and I know that Members across this Chamber are committed to achieving it and I hope that we can work together in order to deliver for those people. Thank you.
