Minister, we're only too aware of the pressures facing our schools, thanks to the crisis in the cost of living at the moment, and a recent survey by NASUWT found that teachers are providing money, food and clothing to help children and families with cost-of-living pressures. It also said that nearly seven in 10 teachers saw that more of their pupils were lacking in energy and in concentration as well. Given that this cost-of-living crisis is known to be impacting both teachers and pupils' welfare, Minister, what further support could be made available to teachers, pupils and families to help them through this difficult and challenging time?
