We look forward to being involved with that programme. To move to the issue of foster carers, the increase in the number of foster carers through social media campaigns and a targeted approach is a great success story. I know there is still an urgent need, however. Is there anything I am unaware of that is similar to maternity or paternity leave that a new foster carer could avail of when they initially take on the care of a child? Is that something the witnesses think should be looked at?
