It is important that we undertake a safety audit as a minimum. We should consider how to enhance protection and reduce waiting times. People who must get safety orders should not wait months.

Will the Minister of State consider what supports could be put in place for children? In terms of prevention, it is important we examine what is occurring in schools. We should consider how to shape children's development and increase their coping skills and tolerances, namely, how they deal with emotions like anger.

I wish the Minister of State well in the debate. I am sorry, as there was much more that I wanted to say, but it will hold for another day.
