Yes, led by Dr. Noel Purdy and the steering group. There has been specific engagement with children and young people from all different backgrounds, including very specifically children from Traveller and Roma backgrounds. These engagements are feeding into the process of the steering group and an impressive body of work has already been done. This committee has fed very proactively into this body of work through the anti-bullying steering group, of which Ms Maria Joyce from the National Traveller Women's Forum is also a member. I am very keen this body of work will be inclusive of all children and all backgrounds and the publication of the final report is imminent in the not-too-distant future.
