I want to briefly mention recommendation 15, that all devolved public bodies must be placed under the same 'due regard' duty. I think those of us who were part of the process of passing the original legislation perhaps assumed that if that responsibility was placed on the Government, that due regard would trickle down to the public bodies for which the Government is responsible. The report evidences that, while there is excellent practice, this has not happened everywhere. I have a particular concern that it has not happened everywhere in education and that there are still some of those working in our education field, hopefully a minority, who think that talking in terms of children's rights means allowing children to do exactly what they want to do, which, of course, is not the case. So, I strongly hope that the Government will support this.

And finally, if I can just mention recommendation 16. Our children's commissioners have done sterling work, but it is an anomaly that the commissioner is answerable to and appointed by the Government. It arises from historical time when the commissioner's role was created. It's important now that we move to a point where the commissioner is appointed by and answerable to the Parliament, and I believe that we could get cross-party consensus for that in the next Assembly.

Llywydd, there has definitely been progress in turning children's rights into reality in Wales. It was a particular privilege for me, and made me particularly pleased, to be back in this Senedd to vote for the removal of the defence of reasonable chastisement and give all our children equal protection with adults, but this report does show how much further we have to go. I hope that Welsh Government will accept all its recommendations and the need for root-and-branch action to turn these rights into reality. The cross-party groups will continue to work with and support the committee to scrutinise the Government in this regard. Diolch yn fawr.
