I thank the Member for those further questions. I also attended the event earlier today, and listened to the evidence from a teacher, who happens to be from my own constituency, discussing her experience of being in school and providing that broader support, which is required because of the situation faced by many families. That's certainly something that's happening elsewhere too.

In terms of our work as a Government, what we are endeavouring to do is that we provide support in order to reduce the likelihood of that happening, perhaps through providing support to those families who are most in need of support, for example, in terms of cost of living, in terms of school uniform and events at school, but also, a she will be aware, the work that we are doing along with Plaid Cymru in terms of extending free school meals. So, there are a number of things that we are doing with the intention of reducing the pressures on those families who are having most difficulty. But in a situation such as the one that we see now, with the broader social pressures on families, the situation, as was described to us earlier today, is very sad indeed. So, what we're doing is ensuring that we're providing all the support that we possibly can to the families who need that most. 

In terms of attendance targets, there are no statutory targets at the moment, for the reasons that she outlined, in terms of the pressures currently on schools. But it's also important that we do support our teachers in ensuring that pupils do return. We know that over COVID that's been very challenging for many schools. We've provided specific funding to ensure that we can support schools that need that support to remake connections with families, where perhaps children aren't attending school. So we're doing our best to support teachers to ensure that that happens, rather than putting in place statutory targets at the moment. But it is right that schools do look at that. It's an aim of the education system to have our children in the classroom, so that is important work that teachers are doing. 

In terms of her final point, in terms of teaching assistants, I perhaps responded to some of that in answering Tom Giffard. I attended a meeting yesterday and this morning with the schools social partnership council discussing the pressures on school staff, in light of the cost-of-living crisis. So, it's an issue for families, as well as teachers and TAs. This was a theme of a meeting that I attended yesterday that the EPI had arranged to hear what's happening elsewhere in the UK, and it's a debate that's being had elsewhere too. So, it's priority to ensure that we enhance the terms of TAs. We do have some of the powers, but other powers rest with local authorities and there’s a lot of work to be done in order to ensure that we do improve the situation in this area. We’ve started that work; it’s going relatively well, but there’s more to be done.
