Speaking as the youngest member of the committee—[Laughter.] These things are all relative, you know—I don’t claim to have any special insights, other than what we learned from the inquiry. And I agree with the Chair, with Lynne Neagle, that that stakeholder event was a great thing, a real chance to tap into the thoughts and the experiences of those people delivering those services, and it was a really important part of the whole process.

It was my first inquiry, and I’ve got a copy of the Minister’s response, and he’s accepted—or accepted in principle—all of the recommendations. And I don’t know whether that happens all the time, but it seems like a good thing. Where does it go next?

I’d like to focus on one specific recommendation, which is recommendation 8. And I’m very pleased that the Minister’s accepted that one in principle, which asks the Minister to develop an accountability framework for local authorities’ use of funds for youth work, via the revenue support grant. And it isn’t agreeing to hypothecate funding, as other Members have already noted. But what it does say is that the Government has begun the process to undertake a review of all these youth work funding streams to identify the true impact, and to support future thinking for youth work in Wales.

And my mind turned to youth work in my constituency, and Julie Morgan’s mentioned open access—well, in Senghenydd—where Julie just told me that’s where she’s originally from—the Senghenydd youth drop-in centre, was visited by the Minister, and is an open-access youth group, and it’s massively important, but also facing a very, very uncertain immediate future. And given the changes that are likely to happen with regard to Communities First—and I know there’s been criticisms of Communities First for the funds not going where they’re supposed to go; I understand that there’s been criticism in a minority of cases—I suspect a good deal of youth work, particularly there at SYDIC, has been partly funded by overspill from Communities First.

So, given that the Minister has proposed to consider the changing nature—sorry, to consider the future thinking for youth work in Wales, and the Cabinet Secretary for communities is looking at the changing nature of resilient communities, I’d like the Minister to particularly consider that impact. What will be in that review that is recommended in recommendation 8 and what will be the impact of the Welsh Government’s new resilient communities policy? I think there must be—there must be—an overlap so that youth work doesn’t suffer as a result of any changes that take place.

But what I’d say, from my experience, is that the Minister’s taken a hugely constructive approach, as seems to be expected of this Minister, which is great, and I look forward to seeing what happens next after the recommendations have been made.
