Thank you very much, Deputy Presiding Officer. I welcome the opportunity to reiterate the Welsh Government's support for young adult carers to ensure that young adult carers have every opportunity to reach their potential in life. 

I think this is a very important debate. There is a lot of agreement on the whole in the Chamber, and the Government very much supports the spirit of the motion. As Suzy Davies said, this is a well-tempered debate, and I think Oscar's description of a carer's role summed it all up—a noble job. 

Wales has the highest proportion of carers under the age of 18 of all the UK nations. According to the 2011 census, there are 29,155 young people under the age of 25 in Wales who are caring for others for at least an hour a week. And, of course, all of these will not need support, but those who have substantial responsibilities do need much better recognition. In our Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014, as other speakers have mentioned today, we introduced new rights and duties for local authorities to promote the well-being of carers who need support. 

The motion rightly points to concerns about young adults' well-being and about their prospects to reach their full potential. So, let me tackle what the motion asks from the Welsh Government one by one. It asks for early identification, accessible support and preventing disengagement from education. In Wales we do not currently collect national data on the educational attainment of young carers, so it's not possible to say whether or not young carers have significantly lower educational attainment than their peers, as the motion suggests. But that said, we fully recognise the need for young carers to be identified and supported in education to achieve their best outcomes. Work is under way in partnership with Carers Trust Wales to support schools to identify and better support their young carers.  

Similarly, we don't recognise the suggestion that young carers are three times more likely to be not in education, employment or training, as the motion states, and I think these may be figures from England. In Wales we have a successful approach to reducing the number of young children who are NEET through our youth engagement and progression framework, and since its launch, the number of school leavers not entering education, employment or training in Wales has more than halved. However, we do absolutely acknowledge that young carers are much more at risk of becoming NEET, and we are very keen to support them and avoid this happening.

The motion also mentions bringing forward young carers ID cards, together with a duty on local authorities to implement the card, and I referred to the Government's amendment. We are already making very good progress on the new national model of a young carers ID card, and I hope to announce their phased introduction before the end of the year. Last week, I sent a letter to all of the leaders of local authorities about the card, and have already had some very positive responses. We expect absolutely full engagement with our plans. There's absolutely no evidence to suggest we need to impose a duty. The important work of developing the detail of how the ID card is implemented cannot be legislated for. [Interruption.] Yes, of course.
