I welcome both witnesses and thank them for coming here to present to us. The presentation was excellent. In recent weeks and months we have had different witnesses coming to present to us, and a couple of common themes are emerging, especially in terms of education and employment. The lack of training for personnel is one theme. Do the witnesses believe more staff need training in how to deal with disability and the provision of supports for their students? Is there enough awareness among staff? Are they cognisant that they may have students within their class who require supports?
