Part of 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Local Government and Public Services – in the Senedd at 2:20 pm on 13 June 2018.
Presiding Officer, I'm not sure that's an entirely—how shall I say—balanced view of that report, but, in terms of the support that we provide for the armed forces community in totality, I will continue to keep that under review. I've made a statement on how we will be responding to the report of the cross-party group—a report that I value greatly, I must say—and we will look at how we can strengthen different areas of support.
But, I will say to the Member that this is mainstreamed into our work as well. I spoke yesterday at a conference in Cardiff on how we provide specific support, and need to provide specific support, on additional learning needs to children who are from the armed forces community. Last week, I visited Parc prison in Bridgend and spoke there to members of staff who are working on the Endeavour wing, which is dedicated for members of the armed forces community. So, whilst we will continue to provide specific support for veterans and for those serving in our armed forces, we will also ensure that it is mainstreamed into all the work of this Government.
