That is good. An issue relating to parents has been brought to me. We all know the considerable issues they have in finding places in autism spectrum disorder, ASD, units or even mainstream classes. It has sometimes been asked of me whether there might be a possibility of looking at something like allowing for a two-year run-in, particularly for kids with disabilities. That would allow for a greater level of flexibility around the school admissions process. Do the witnesses believe that would be helpful and useful?
