Julie Morgan AM: And then just one more question about the exclusion rates amongst lookedafter children They are I understand over six times more likely to be given a fixedterm exclusion So is there any way of trying to address this ? Is the PDG used for anything to do with exclusions ? Kirsty Williams AM: We can look at exclusions We also have to read across about how the whole system works not just the PDG element of the system So we know for example that 66 per cent of lookedafter learners have some additional learning need so we can not just look at it in terms of this particular source of funding we have to look at it at a wider level of support So given that the majority of those children will have an ALN how can we make sure that our new ALN legislation and our new ALN regime meets the needs of these children ? So I think what we are looking at again is to say that it can not be just the job of the PDG That is there as an additional level of support but actually we have got to get our ALN right Unless we get our ALN right lots and lots of these children are not going to get the support that they need day in day out via that system We do know that sometimes if we are not addressing ALN then we are not addressing behaviour issues that then potentially lead to an expulsion or potentially lead to nonattendance So we have got to look at it in the round and recognise the connections between the sometimes quite complex needs that these children have within the school setting that are not just as a result of the fact that they are looked after they have other needs as well
According to Kirsty Williams, people should look at exclusions and also have to read across about how the whole system works, not just the PDG element of the system. 66% of looked-after learners have some additional learning need, so they can't just look at it in terms of this particular source of funding. It can't be just the job of the PDG.
Dawn Bowden AM: I think they were saying it was difficult to use for swift interventions—they found it a bit cumbersome They explained to us that they often take informal measures or actions in their role as regulator and they have explained that the small size of the sector enables good relationships to be developed How can such measures work in the tertiary education body when there clearly will be many more than the 10 providers ? Kirsty Williams AM: Well looking ahead to the new Bill I would want to see and be very keen to ensure that there are sufficiently flexible—did you use the word soft—and soft regulatory powers that the commission could exercise Those powers for instance could include the ability to offer advice and guidance rather than maybe punitive interventions and powers to undertake enhanced monitoring of institutions to ensure compliance with regulatory conditions So I would expect the commission to be able to have a series of abilities to intervene from the soft flexible type which is nonpunitive but actually allows people to go in and support institutions through to something that would be as I said more punitive if they felt that an institution was in danger of not providing quality or financial failure Hefin David AM: Can I just come in there on the point that was made ? The issue that seemed to me to come from HEFCW and from the universities is that the dial seems to have only three steps So rather than having a graduated series of actions that they can take it seems to step from—what did he call it—a meeting without coffee to— Kirsty Williams AM: That is a very HEFCW thing to say Hefin David AM: —potentially institutions going bankrupt and there do not seem to be many steps in between that I would invite you to say whether you would like to remedy that in future Kirsty Williams AM: I think as I said at the beginning of the session this is why this postlegislative scrutiny is useful because we can reflect on that feedback As I said I would expect to be able to ensure that the commission had a range of powers that could address—from that soft power and those early conversations to being able to as I said issue perhaps advice and guidance to an institution so there would be a more graduated escalation Huw is there anything else that I have missed out ? Huw Morris: Just to build on what the Minister has said there is a range of ways in which we interact with all institutions that are going to be in the tertiary sector and some of that is about providing information So HEFCW provides information—it sends around circulars it produces reports and it holds events There is staff management and leadership development activity which can create a culture amongst the leaders of institutions but also amongst their governing bodies to help them move in a particular direction We would hope that is in the direction of the civic university approach that the Minister has outlined We use those mechanisms and informal interactions with FE college principals with the workbased learning provider network with sixth forms and others and we would want to see I hope in the tertiary sector some alignment of those things When things go badly wrong there are a range of mechanisms I think what stands behind HEFCWs comments is that before we had a loanbased system of student finance there was a system of block grant allocations and conditions could be attached to those grant allocations by HEFCW I do not think we are going to be going back to that system in the foreseeable future because of the pressures on public finances—
Dawn Bowden AM challenged that informal measures or actions had been taken in their role as regulator, and Kirsty Williams AM explained that the commission was expected to be able to have a series of abilities to intervene, from the soft, flexible type, which was non-punitive but actually allowed people to participate in it. Meanwhile, Huw Morris suggested that specific mechanisms and informal interactions with FE college principals, with the work-based learning provider network, etc had been used to hopefully achieve some alignment in the tertiary sector. Also, as a loan-based system of student finance, a system of block grant allocations and conditions could be attached to those grant allocations by HEFCW when things went wrong.

Marketing: no trend watching The other one I think so just so just to meet the user requirements I would just do a s short anal analysis of the remote control market and to kind of have a better overview of what is the fashion in general I have checked more than only the remote control market so next So again it is pretty much similar to what I have said in the previous meeting user really really want a fancy look and feel They are not so so interested in functional look and feel Like the one you have shown David with all the buttons and I mean i i it sounds good technically but it is it is not what they want and So second point is they still want it it to be technologically innovative so maybe it is sort of related to what you have said with the speech recognition and so on At the same time it is important that it is easy to use So that were the three first points from the remote control analysis
