I would like to ask Jigsaw's representatives two questions. Dr. Duffy's opening statement referred to the supports needed to upskill those who work directly with children. One bit that stuck out for me was his assertion that only 1% of primary school teachers thought they were adequately trained. What sort of supports do we need and what upskilling do these teachers need to be able to support children?
