I have one other question for the Minister. The Bill covers issues such as coaching, training, mentoring, counselling and teaching. What about persons such as parents and so on who transport children from one pitch to another or to and from a match in their car? Often a child can end up on his or her own in the car with that person. Where a teacher is required to take a child who is ill home, often two teachers will travel in order to protect themselves and the child.
Areas such as this are not mentioned and I wonder if consideration should be given to alerting clubs, organisations and schools of this.
