It needs to be a meaningful career where the person is valued. I absolutely agree.

I listened to Mr Herrick's opening statement on our history of institutional abuse. At the moment, one of my big fears is that we are at full employment and it is very difficult to get people into section 38 and section 39 jobs. There is a risk of burnout and a risk of cutting corners. I would like to hear the witnesses' views on those risks.
