If I could just ask you two questions relating to your statement: you refer to the committee inquiry into the educational outcomes for Gypsy/Traveller and minority ethnic learners. I wonder if you could tell me, did you take evidence from John Summers High School in Flintshire, which has played a great and leading role in engaging with the local Gypsy/Traveller community and improving educational outcomes for young people? The community and the school have expressed concerns that that has not been factored into decisions over the school closure, which could adversely impact the connection with the community that’s been achieved.

Secondly and finally, you referred to the scrutiny that will carry on with the additional learning needs Bill. You referred to children, quite rightly, being involved, and stakeholders and practitioners. You don’t mention parents. Can you confirm that parents will be involved so that you can share their practical experience of concern that this might lead, on the basis of experience to date, to rationing, if not handled properly, where the move away from statements to school action and school action plus, has, in some cases, led to a greater number of exclusions, particularly amongst children on the autistic spectrum and otherwise, and has often frustrated access to services?
