Absolutely. We have home-school liaison officers in many secondary schools and that is welcome. Some of them have told me that they get to the heart of the matter when they get into the home and talk to the parents. It is then that they can identify points, problems and issues that are in the home that they will not identify with the child in the school. I very much welcome that. Does Professor Downes believe that if this is to be rolled out in primary schools, and we identify a huge number of problems, we might have those problems sorted out by the time children get to secondary school? Does the question make sense?
