Part of 2. 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Children – in the Senedd at 2:47 pm on 14 December 2016.
Cabinet Secretary, can I ask you, in light of the UK Government’s recent publication of the Taylor review of youth justice, whether the Welsh Government intends to pursue greater influence over youth justice in Wales through the existing powers we have with regard to vulnerable children? So, for example, the last Welsh Government proposed the establishment of statutory reintegration and resettlement partnership under the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014, but we didn’t make it because of the time before running up to the Assembly elections. So, is it now time to put this back on the agenda and to explore other areas where, in Wales, we can do things differently and do things better?
