I have a couple of questions. I thank the delegates for their presentations. I have one question for Facing Forward about its concluding observations. Reference is made on page 3 to the specific protection needs of certain victims and the importance of the specific training required to meet these needs. Will Ms Foley please expand a little more on this? Is she also arguing that this is something that should be incorporated into the Bill?
