Ultimately, of course, it’s a matter for schools to ensure that bullying does not occur within schools. But the Additional Learning Needs and Education Tribunal (Wales) Bill, if passed, will completely overhaul the system for supporting pupils with additional learning needs, including learners with hearing impairments. It’ll obviously put the learner at the heart of that process and make it simpler for those involved. There will be finance, of course, to support the Bill, and, as part of the narrative around that Bill, I would want to make sure that bullying is dealt with as part of that narrative. Yes, it is important to support those with additional learning needs in the widest way possible, including, of course, protecting them from bullying.
