We continue to implement our national strategy. I launched the VAWDASV perpetrator service standards last week, the statutory regional commissioning guidance will be published in the new year and we are working with the Wales Centre for Public Policy to scope reviews of refuge provision and sexual violence services.

The Welsh Government has adopted the social model of disability, recognising that we need to remove all sorts of barriers that prevent disabled people from living the lives they want. This is increasingly being reflected across our policies, including transport, education, environment and health, as reflected in our new framework.

The strategic framework for an ageing society will place older people at the heart of policy making. Preparatory work has sharpened our focus on the issues that matter to older people, including mental health.  The framework will drive a rights-based approach that has a practical, quantifiable impact on people’s lives. 

We recognise that children from Gypsy and Traveller communities face many additional barriers, including in relation to education, health and public perceptions. Our 'Enabling Gypsies, Roma and Traveller' plan contains a comprehensive suite of actions to improve their life chances and well-being.

Faith leaders meet with the First Minister and me twice a year through the faith communities forum to discuss issues affecting the economic, social and cultural life of Wales. The Welsh Government is committed to working with faith groups throughout the year to promote understanding and foster community cohesion.

Following their successful bid for lots 1 and 3 of the successor programme, I will be meeting with BT to discuss future roll-out.  However, the roll-out is just one part of our suite of interventions, with the Access Broadband Cymru and ultrafast connectivity voucher schemes available to secure connectivity.
