I have a question. As the witnesses are probably aware, the Minister, Deputy Foley, announced the establishment of new education and mental health practitioner posts and a pilot in primary schools. This was recommended by this committee following a visit to the UK's National Health Service and Department for Education. Where can the witnesses feed in regarding the role of practitioners in the delivery of consent programmes and take the lead in developing a whole-school culture of consensual behaviour? Where can practitioners feed into what the witnesses are doing?
