I am sorry to delay, Chairperson. Again, schools and any mandated person have to refer if they consider that a child has been exposed to or is at risk of sexual abuse, physical abuse, neglect or emotional abuse. In the over-representation of Travellers in the care system, are the referrals based on concerns about welfare issues?
