Part of 3. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 2:20 pm on 12 November 2019.
I thank Suzy Davies for that. I'm very keen we take every opportunity there is to promote the code. We're doing it through the economic contract; we'll be doing it this week. This is Wales Safeguarding Week, and my colleague Julie Morgan will be attending events—already has in south Wales, and will be in north Wales later this week publicising the actions we're taking as part of that. And, of course, Suzy Davies is right: the code of practice in ethical employment is about terms and conditions and circumstances in which people are employed, but it's more than that. Procurement is an important part of it, and the way in which people are brought into the workplace in Wales is at the forefront of that code. So, I'll think carefully about what she said. We take whatever opportunities we already have, and maybe in the new year there will be a case for having another event that highlights what has been achieved already and draws more people in support of it.
