We’ve seen a report by committee that has expressed great concern about the implementation of the Act—that it is sluggish, or some parts haven’t been implemented at all. This week, I received an update on the situation and these are the facts for you: there is no action plan over a year since the strategy was published; it appears that no guidance related to local strategies has been published as of yet; the expert group on healthy relationships hasn’t published its recommendations—and those were to be issued in the autumn; it appears that no work was done on the guidance for higher education institutions; no national indicators were published to show progress towards the objectives of the Act; the statutory commissioning guidance, which was to be published in July of this year, hasn’t been published; the national adviser has resigned, and no replacement has been appointed. Would you agree that the only thing that breaks new ground here is the incredible scale of lack of action in the two years since this institution passed this legislation?
