I am interested in what the Institute of Physics said about apprenticeships being made attractive to women and disabled learners. We have done a lot of work on disability, including learners from minority ethnic backgrounds and those from disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds. Representatives of the Open Doors initiative were before us recently, which I am sure the Institute of Physics is aware of, who are working in that space as well. How is that particular work advancing?
