QNR – in the Senedd on 7 March 2023.
The Welsh Government is determined that citizens from other countries who have chosen to live, study, visit, or work in Wales feel welcomed and valued members of our communities. If students are in poor condition private accommodation, they should report any repairs or maintenance issues to their landlord in the first instance.
The UK Government has created trade barriers for Welsh businesses which are making imports and exports more burdensome and contributing to price pressures being felt by consumers. The loss of EU funding is now resulting in job losses and the closure of vital skills and business support programmes across Wales.
We are working with public bodies to embed Foundational Economy approaches in their activity to help retain wealth within our communities and improve their wellbeing. Actions taken will shorten supply chains to reduce carbon emissions; build a strong Welsh supply base; and improve employment conditions and pay for workers.
Teachers in South Wales East benefit from the initiatives introduced to support households through this cost-of-living crisis. In relation to teachers’ pay, an offer that is the equivalent of an 8% pay rise, with 6.5% consolidated, is a strong one in the context of a reducing Welsh Government budget.
