Thank you, Deputy Minister, for your statement today. As a former teacher, I particularly welcome your comment around the new curriculum and unions in the place of work. Linking an understanding of workplace rights to career guidance is fundamentally the right thing to do, and I look forward to the results of the pilot in due course.

I have a couple of questions for you today. Firstly, I note your comments around the social care fair work forum. I’m sure we’d all agree on the urgent need to expand our social care workforce, and raising the status of that profession, not least through the fair work agenda, is absolutely key to that. So, can you expand a little on the discussions Welsh Government is having around this, and on the model of fair work that you are keen to promote beyond the delivery of the real living wage?

Linked to this, I think recommendations 46 and 47 on tracking progress are vital. Access to good-quality data is important if we are to be able to monitor delivery and the pace of delivery, and identify and resolve any barriers. I commend Welsh Government for making the changes to the national indicators suggested. How will these be used to shape and drive performance to ensure that we can provide fair work in the social care sector?

Finally, Deputy Minister, we also heard from the economy Minister earlier today on how innovation will be embedded across all areas of Government. So, I’d welcome your reflections on how fair work fits into this in line with that very first recommendation that this is also a cross-Government responsibility. How can we use innovation as a lever to enable us to better promote and deliver fair work for Welsh citizens?
