Diolch, and thanks for the statement. Of course, we share with you the recognition that safer communities cannot be achieved by a single government, service or community. This is a shared agenda. You referred to the decline in first-time entrants to the youth justice system. As you know, the problem is the persistent recurrence of repeat offenders who then increasingly end up in custody, but what consideration have you given to the independent Taylor review of youth justice, particularly its proposals for work training schemes to help reform and help offenders find work on release.

You referred to close co-operation with police forces in Wales and the recruitment of 500 community support officers across Wales. What engagement or involvement have you had, more broadly, where we learned at the North Wales Police briefing for Assembly Members and Members of Parliament at North Wales Police headquarters last month—which, unfortunately, you were not able to be present at, but some of your colleagues were—that, in north Wales, for example, there had been an increase in special constables to 192, in police special volunteers to 110, and the starting of the volunteer police cadets programme having reached, I think, 60 by that stage.

You referred to the fire and rescue services—timely, given yesterday’s press coverage of a rise in deliberate fires in Wales, with services diverted from other 999 calls and with fire crews called to more than 7,100 deliberate fires in 2015-16—an increase of almost 11 per cent on the previous year. Now, this is something that has come out year after year, with you and other Ministers or Cabinet Secretaries holding the relevant portfolio. I wonder if you could tell us again, or provide an update on what engagement you’re having with the fire services, and other agencies—hopefully, including the third sector—regarding addressing that.

You referred to ambulance services. Again, at the North Wales Police briefing, we heard about police officers being called upon to supplement the ambulance service on calls. They said that they were assisting with managing the impact of hospital pressures to improve decision making around when the ambulance service should call the police in order to reduce unnecessary attendance by police at non-police-related incidents. Again, I don’t know whether it’s yourself or other colleagues in Cabinet, but perhaps you could indicate what role, if any, the Welsh Government might be playing in that.

You referred rightly to the Violence against Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence (Wales) Act. When you made a statement on this last November you referred to statutory guidance requiring local authorities to designate a member of staff to champion violence against women, domestic abuse and sexual violence in schools and other settings. I indicated that the Minister at the time of the legislation had stated that guidance would drive a whole-school approach by appointing a staff member, pupil and governor in those roles. You responded positively. I wonder if you could indicate what progress might have been achieved thus far.

At the same time, I referred to the call by NSPCC for a comprehensive child sexual abuse prevention strategy for Wales, following the ‘How safe are our children? 2016’ report of a 26 per cent increase in the number of recorded sexual offences against children under 16 in Wales. I also referred to pre-custodial programmes for male perpetrators of domestic violence and a scheme that you acknowledged, Atal y Fro, which is also developing programmes, in addition to those for men, for women and adolescent perpetrators. You might recall that I worked alongside colleagues, hard, to try and get this into the legislation. The Minister at the conclusion, although not accepting that, committed the Welsh Government to take this forward and look at the evidence accordingly. What action have your colleagues taken to look at the only accredited programme in Wales to see how this might be better embraced and fill in the gaps that exist?
