Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Education – in the Senedd at 2:13 pm on 4 October 2017.
I was wondering how you could tell us more about how young people are engaged with the issue surrounding homelessness in school. I’m obviously aware of the Shelter Cymru toolkit, which is widely used across schools in Wales, but I wonder how that can be enhanced upon, because we had a debate only last week from young people in Wrexham—not Wrexham, sorry—Ynys Môn, who came down to the National Assembly, and they were saying quite clearly that there are issues, if they are made homeless, that they find studying very difficult because they don’t have an environment where it’s comfortable, and they often don’t have Wi-Fi. So, how are you looking at those potential issues from young people who are at the coalface of this?
