Mr. Ben Friel:

In terms of the conversation about the mechanism, in the North and the UK there is something called the National Society of Apprentices, where apprentices can have their say in education. We have looked at setting up similar structures here but there have been funding challenges. On mechanisms, they know where we are and what our email addresses are. In terms of setting up an apprentice voice, we are actively pursuing making that a reality so we have direct feedback from apprentices.
