Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 4:39 pm on 16 March 2021.
Can I thank Mick Antoniw and his committee for their consideration of the Order? I'd just absolutely reinforce the point that not only did the Education Workforce Council perceive there to be no problems with the timing issues highlighted by Mick Antoniw, but that these suspension order powers are very much welcomed by the Education Workforce Council. They have been asking for them for a considerable period of time, and I'm delighted, even as we come to the end of this Senedd term, that we've been able to respond positively to both the request of the EWC but also the children and young people committee. Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer.
