The children's commissioner is quite clear that there is a series of litmus tests, if you like, in terms of what she'd be looking for—primarily, of course, that all children in Wales can be accounted for and that none slip under the radar of universal services and society more widely. Well, you know, even a statutory register can't guarantee that and that's something I know that we've touched on previously. But I honestly believe that it would better achieve that aim than a local authority database, albeit that's probably moving closer to what I'd like to see.

The second litmus test, of course, is that every child receives a suitable education. I think, on that front, this is where I find the greatest positivity in your statement today, in that that is being firmed up. Hopefully we'll see that being more effectively articulated and implemented. But also, of course, that every child should have the opportunity to be seen and their views and experiences listened to. That's another key test for the children's commissioner. So, I just need more clarity, really, about whether your proposed statutory guidance will include that opportunity for children but also include that right for the authorities to have access to those pupils being home educated. One way of testing all of this, of course, is through a children's rights impact assessment and I would like you to confirm whether the Government will be producing a detailed children's rights impact assessment on these proposals as part of the process. As I say, that hopefully will go a long way in demonstrating whether you meet some of the children's commissioner's tests.

Finally, two questions to close. Some members of the home education community will be more willing to engage with local authorities and the Welsh Government than others maybe, so how will you ensure that the voices of more hard-to-reach children are heard within this process? I'd be interested in hearing your answer to that. And finally as well, there's a whole other cohort, of course, of children who haven't started at school or who aren't at school age yet and I'd be interested in hearing what discussions have occurred across Welsh Government on how the health, social care and education sectors could work together to more effectively include children under compulsory school age as well in some of these areas that we're currently deliberating.
