I apologise if I am going back over old ground. Do the witnesses believe adequate training is being provided by the people who are coaching younger people, in particular in school? Is enough done to prepare the people involved in sporting activities in schools? Where do the witnesses see the more serious deficiencies? Although we have raised great awareness of farm accidents, there have been far more tragedies and deaths in that area this year than in any other year.

Are we doing enough on this with regard to sport and where are the greatest deficiencies? Is training provided to coaches in schools and clubs?
