Leader of the house, I would urge caution when discussing who provides services. As a former probation officer and support worker for Women's Aid, I would say, of course, that all violence and all abuse in all relationships is wrong, but I'm also acutely aware of perpetrators who say that they are victims of abuse as a cover for their actions. So, when considering the funding of services, I'd want to be satisfied that proper checks are taking place to avoid this sort of cover from perpetrators being publicly funded and further harming victims. So, how can we ensure that those getting money for the provision of these services are bona fide?

I'm surprised that, three and a half years into this legislation, the basic level of mapping services has yet to happen. We know from the organisations delivering these services that there are gaping holes in service provision, and cuts to local government may well have made this situation worse. But, we don't know the extent of that because we can't properly follow the budget lines through to show this.

As I raised with you in committee, I'm concerned about the provision for children in all of this. When I worked for Women's Aid in the 1990s, we were campaigning for core funding for children's services. If children are not given the opportunity to work through the impact of the domestic abuse that's taking place between their parents, we risk seeing patterns of that behaviour being repeated. 

I also raised concerns with you about the teaching of relationships, control, consent et cetera in school. The need is there to start at a very young age, but this won't come in now, we've heard, until 2022—eight years into the legislation. That tells me that this matter is not a priority for your Government. We cannot wait for another three years' worth of potential harm to be done before we address this among young people. And the work that's being done by the third sector, fantastic though it may well be, is great, but it's not enough—it isn't comprehensive enough. So, my questions are: will you ensure that children's domestic abuse services are core funded? I know you said that this will be covered by the review of services, but I don't think that there was specific mention of children's services in that statement. Will you work with the Cabinet Secretary for Education to bring those curriculum changes forward?

I welcome the First Minister's announcement to commission an expert review into refuge provision and sexual violence services in Wales. This is long overdue. We've got so many people who are not receiving the help that they need when they ask for it, and there are many, many more who don't seek help until much, much later. And we're letting all of these people down by not adequately funding services that can help people to rebuild their lives after a traumatic incident. So, another question, then, is: when are we likely to see the conclusion of that review? And more importantly, when will we see additional resources allocated to fund extra services?

And my final question is a question that I asked you in committee, but I didn't get an answer for there, so perhaps I'll get one here. In 2016, a previous national adviser said that commissioning guidance is critical to the purpose of the Act. So, when is that guidance going to be published?
