Michelle Brown AM: Thank you To what extent has the rate of improvement differed between the primary and secondary sectors ?
Meilyr Rowlands: I am not sure if there is been a difference in the rate of improvement but certainly I have raised in this annual report and indeed in previous annual reports the difference between primary and secondary We have got 7 in 10—nearly three quarters—of primary schools doing well and about half of secondary schools So I did open debate on why that is the case in last years annual report There are several reasons I think Generally there is a widening of gaps when you go from primary to secondary but also it is from foundation phase to key stage 2 to key stage 3 to key stage 4 There is a general widening of the gender for example There is a widening of the freeschoolmeals and so forth So there are particular challenges facing secondary schools that do not exist in primary I should say that what you get in secondary schools is greater variability So there is actually more excellence in secondary schools according to our inspections than in primary although the overall proportion of good or better schools is higher in primary than in secondary So I think it is a challenge to think why this is the case It is partly because of the challenges of adolescent young people That is part of it I think also although I have got no evidence for this it is probably more difficult for that community focus to work in a larger secondary school than a smaller primary school You go to primary schools you often see the parents much more engaged than in secondary school So I think that is a bit more of a challenge as well So there is a whole range of issues The other one of course is the one we were talking about earlier this morning the pressure on secondary schools to address performance indicators and examinations in particular Another possible reason is the structure of secondary schools is subjectbased departmentalbased so children will get 10 to 12 different teachers In primary school for a whole year they will have the same teacher It is easier therefore in a primary school for the school to see the child as an individual and recognise their problems and their needs as a whole So I think there is a whole range of issues that explains or goes part way to explaining what you have identified | Meilyr Rowlands agreed that indeed in previous annual reports, the difference between primary and secondary did exist. Nearly three quarters of primary schools were doing well and about half of secondary schools were the same. The reason seemed to be there was a widening of gaps when it moved from primary to secondary, but also it was from foundation phase to key stage 2 to key stage 3 to key stage 4. To conclude, Meilyr Rowlands suggested that a whole range of issues should be considered to help explain what had been identified about the gap. |

Project Manager: Alright So finance And we will see if we can unscrew this first Sorry this is I am just
Marketing: There we go and there are the marks
Industrial Designer: Mm I guess it will have to wait for a bit
Project Manager: Adjusting There we go so we have looked at the prototype presentation and the evaluation criteria And now we have to calculate the production costs So I have got an Excel spreadsheet to help us do that Can you read that ? Almost More or less I started filling it in but of course these are provisional so we have to go down No hand dynamo right ? No kinetic energy no solar The chip we are going for an advanced chip on print We also said the sample sensor and sample speaker singlecurved surface so that we can fold it Case material we said rubber I do not know what special colour means
Industrial Designer: Mm anything I think which is not more
User Interface: I think something coloured probably So I think this is probably special co no ?
Marketing: but rubber comes coloured does not it ? You know
Project Manager: it is I would maybe it is like if you want titanium coloured or wood coloured it is different
User Interface: Or maybe maybe if you want some kind of pattern thing on it
Project Manager: let us leave it as zero because it is easy
Marketing: you might end up having to take off the sample sensor
Project Manager: We we are definitely going to have to so we have got pushbutton and then we have
User Interface: scro we have scroll wheel as well
Project Manager: Scroll wheel with pushbutton we had no ?
User Interface: S we had for muting And we have LC display
Industrial Designer: we are not using any of that
User Interface: but what do we ha we have LC display but but the wh but the s spinning wheel
Project Manager: But the the spinning wheels not there I have think maybe it is integrated with the LC display ?
Marketing: We have got more than one pushbutton though
Project Manager: I think the pushbutton oh I do not know if that is one
Marketing: That means you can only have twenty five push buttons in total does not it ? Not counting anything we would still be in budget
Industrial Designer: Wh wh what is the limit ?
Project Manager: whether whether pushbutton means that p count by button or do we
User Interface: We have to count all of them or
Industrial Designer: Mm I do not think so no
Project Manager: I do not think that makes sense
Industrial Designer: No it says what what is the kind of interface
Marketing: Well it does not but it
Industrial Designer: if it is pushbutton then you got a zero point five it is a scroll wheel so we we have put it is pushbutton and scroll wheel and LCD display so that is that is the three kind of interfaces that we have
Project Manager: So as we can see that is way too expensive down here
Industrial Designer: Wh wh what is our criteria ?
Project Manager: Our budgets twelve point five
Marketing: the sample sensor will have to go because that is the most expensive thing on there
Project Manager: so that has implications though for the
Industrial Designer: it does not have for voice recognition but it does have for the feedback speaker when you say when you press one it says one or it says hello
Marketing: But that is a bit of a gimmick anyway really is not it ?
Industrial Designer: Mm and the locator also goes away
Marketing: We can afford to get rid of it
User Interface: But it was very no innovative
Marketing: So that means no locator does it ?
Project Manager: What else does it need ?
User Interface: Well the speaker the sample speaker is is expensive but we could just have some some very very easy device that just beeps
Project Manager: because the sample speaker was I think more complicated then just a beeping thing
User Interface: there you record your samples your speech samples and
Industrial Designer: A also i in the case I am not sure that you will evaluate this as a curved surface because it is just rubber so it is probably a flat surface rubber I mean
Project Manager: Right so we need one fifty off
Marketing: See I was going to say the scroll wheel pushbutton thing because
Project Manager: Take it down to just a scroll wheel We could do
Industrial Designer: So tha that mean that we can not press how do we how do we make a selection in in the LCD ?
User Interface: then then we would be in the b budget
Industrial Designer: If in the LCD we can scroll right ? But how do we make a selection if we d can not push the button
User Interface: b no no you can push this one but we do not have a pushbutton we ca we do not have this muting mechanism for this scrolling thing
Marketing: But that is well you would just have to to spin it down
Project Manager: You can have to scroll it straight r roll it straight down for for mute
Industrial Designer: No w w w but ha
Marketing: So that is point three
Industrial Designer: it is it is the scroll wheel and I thought we were referring to this as a scroll spinning wheel and pushbutton thing
User Interface: But I mean we can put an additional mute button on the top as well
Marketing: I mean that would not actually cost any more That is the spin wheel though is not it ? Did not that come with the LC
Project Manager: That is with the LC
Industrial Designer: That comes with the LCD ?
Project Manager: We decided because it is not on our list
Industrial Designer: Oh so so the the this is
Project Manager: The scroll wheel is on the side
Industrial Designer: So we are adding costs for right I mean I think this is good
Marketing: S so we are point three over
Project Manager: We are point three over at the moment
Marketing: Unless we just take off the scroll wheel altogether and just have pushbuttons for the volume Could b still put them on the side But I mean the scroll wheels pretty cool but
Industrial Designer: Instead of scrolling here we have two buttons here up for up and down Mm it sounds good actually
Project Manager: Rather than having three different things that people have to do There we go Oh look we are way under budget and we will make huge profits and we will all get bonuses
Marketing: well we could admit to the single curve could not we ?
Project Manager: Or or that we have to have some sort of special colour So that is alright We we will leave it at that and then I will take I can send it back to management and say we were not quite sure about the colour if that costs extra then we have still got some space for it Excellent Alright So did we lose on our evaluation criteria as a result of doing that ?
Marketing: No I do not think so
Industrial Designer: Because we keep all the features we keep voice recognition we keep LCD display We instead of having scrolling we we just push the buttons
Marketing: We just got rid of a gimmick that was never anyway and the scroll wheel is I mean essentially the two buttons that was it is not a great difference I do not think
Industrial Designer: But we lose the locator
Project Manager: We are going to have a beep
User Interface: Well we are going to have a beeping thing But it is it is not like sample speaker but it will just beep so we still have the locate
Marketing: Cool That is not a very exciting colour I think you should make it more vegetablelike
User Interface: Which colour the the colour of the phone or the colour of the
Marketing: Oh the the beeper thing
User Interface: But it can be yellow as well It can come in the same colour as the the case
Project Manager: Because we we will not have run out of our pot of PlayDoh
Marketing: I think Jen wants it to vibrate
Project Manager: I know I know my pen vibrates
Marketing: You know your pen vibrates ?
Project Manager: But only for a very short time So looks like we have designed a banana Well done team we need we have just got about ten minutes or so left of the meeting so it would be good if we could just have a little talk about the project itself and how it went so that we can feed back to the management for next time they are designing a product
User Interface: mm as far as creativity is concerned I think there was there was room for creativity The only the only problem being that at the end we had to cut some things down because of the the budget we had
Industrial Designer: I think n one thing that was lacking was that we did not know what the various things cost to begin with we kap kept a adding things randomly
Marketing: If we would had that sheet at the beginning should have been like so we can have that lot let us just throw it together and do what we can
Industrial Designer: So d all the random decisions at the end could have been prevented | The production cost was 12.5 Euros. So, the group decided to have one simple battery, no kinetic energy, no solar, one advanced chip on print, one sample speaker, one single-curved surface which can be folded, push-buttons, the scroll wheel, the LCD display. And they decided to give up the sample sensor as well as the locator. |
Marketing: after having the inputs from industrial design and user interface I think most of the points which I want to are already covered here And to find the most interesting features what the users would be interested then what we have done is we have put a feedback forms in all the magazines and the users send the feedbacks and based on that These are the findings which we got and adding of a speech interface is always good for a TV remote but the technology We already know that as discussed earlier
Industrial Designer: Well I I think it will be a yes a bit complicated to make a speech recognisers runs on the small ts
Marketing: An it does how feasible it is
User Interface: I mm But I think if you to recognise numbers it is a wellstudied problem I if you just recognise numbers is a limited you have limited vocabulary
Marketing: Oh we can put an limited vocabulary as in the mobile phones
Industrial Designer: And this can allow to choose the the program for instance without adding buttons so it is a good idea
Marketing: it is not going to take much space also It is going to be very slim And next one was the size of the remote control It has to be of course a very slim and small one And of course most of the people are interested in if it is less expensive so this is an important criteria here is
Project Manager: But do you think what they sug suggested s possibility
Marketing: I mean we have to look for a tradeoff The features and the cost
User Interface: I no I I think that i if we go for quality people may tolerate for high quality and of course comes with reasonable cost Maybe not less but they may be willing to pay little bit more for comfort
Marketing: Little bit more if it is with extra features
Industrial Designer: s s speech is a important extra feature I think
Project Manager: But is it useful or not you I do not know
Marketing: I mean for a lazy guys they could say nine and the nine channel comes Or they say movie name or I do not go for movie names but only for the numbers on the channel or volume up volume down brightness contrast So I think this should be a good idea to put this features And the fourth one was the teletext in various languages
Industrial Designer: we we just have to find a mean how to to add a m a a a microphone or well yes a microphone into the the remote control so
Project Manager: If it is necessary can you can do that
User Interface: What is the teletext ? Mm
Project Manager: We can integrate small microphone in the remote so it is not really a problem What about lighting adaptive options ?
Marketing: as discussed in the earlier meeting but I think not much people are really interested in this point if it is not really required
Project Manager: According to the re to the new requirements I think we do not need that
User Interface: It is interesting but we are only concerned with the remote controller So you need s special TV sets to do that ? Or it is it is done via this remote controller ? It is very complex
Industrial Designer: I think it is a bit complex too
Marketing: I mean it is for the industrial design and users interface designers to decide if it is going to be working or not
Industrial Designer: For our next product our new TV set with automatical sound adjustment light
User Interface: then we can conclude that but it is quite possible but maybe not in this project | Marketing thought that users would be interested in a speech recogniser and it could help users choose the program then reduce the number of buttons. The remote control should be small and comparatively cheap. Not many people were interested in lighting adapting options, so it was for the Industrial Designer and Users Interface designer to decide if it's going to be working or not. |

Lynne Neagle AM: thank you We have got some questions now from Hefin David on neurodevelopmental services
Hefin David AM: I think Chair I should have declared an interest here as my daughter has been diagnosed with autism and is currently going through the process of receiving neurodevelopmental speech and language support particularly We are seeing an increase in neurodevelopmental referrals and that will increase further in the future Can you give us an explanation as to why this demand is growing and how we are going to meet capacity to deliver and for support for those children ?
Carol Shillabeer: Thank you They are very big questions in terms of why I am not sure that anyone really knows why if I am honest although there is a lot of academic research going on What we do know is that we are starting to see the scale of those referrals coming through So in the information provided I refer to the NHS digital prevalence report in England which indicates that about 55 per cent of two to fouryearolds have a mental disorder Now that sounds a bit shocking when we say that but that is in the international classification scaling and of that certainly 25 per cent is around autism I can just testify in real life that demand is absolutely growing So if I just take my own health board for a moment we usually have about 75 referrals per year Last year we had 300 So that has felt very difficult to manage If I can just give you a sense of what we have done so far and then what I think is next I want to recognise the work of Dr Cath Norton and the steering group that is been established on neurodevelopmental issues under the programme They had a standing start They have done a lot of very very good work We now have seven teams in place across Wales We now have a national pathway We now have a communityofpracticetype environment and we are really getting into this Good progress has been made More people have been seen More people have been assessed So we have made progress But I have got a long list of considerations that I think respond to your question One is that most referrals that come through the clinicians tell me are seeking support to move through what they perceive to be a gateway for educational support So that is often the reason why people come Now that is obviously going to be linked to the wholeschool approach and how we can support that Demand is outstripping supply So our clinical teams are concerned about how do they keep up So if I just take my own example of 300 in the last year we are looking to try and put some additional capacity in to support seeing those families but also then to understand what the longterm trajectory is going to be Because we have put these teams in because we have got the new pathway has that opened a gate and we have got a lot of backlog or is that the pattern ?
Hefin David AM: Can I just ask a question there ? So with regard to the 75 to 300 increase—in the space of a year was that ? Did you anticipate that or was that something that just came totally unexpected ?
Carol Shillabeer: I think we anticipated a few more and just to say that in my—
Hefin David AM: But not on that scale
Carol Shillabeer: No not on that scale And in my own health board—I am just referring to my own and I am happy to share the information on this—we already had a service in place So it was not as if we had nothing in place previously We had a NICEcompliant service already in place but we knew we needed to expand that which we have done but we did not anticipate 300 So this is happening not just across Wales actually but across the UK—so this greater recognition the desire for families coming forward to access that support and them seeing this as a route which is really important What I would also say and this is part of the bigger picture that we need to consider going forward is that only about 40 per cent to 50 per cent of those families that come forward have what I would call or the clinicians would call a diagnosis—so a threshold or whatever term you want to use that takes people through to that educational support So we have got a lot of people who are under that threshold but that is a lot of people who still need help and support I am trying to very fairly and I hope appropriately represent the very strong views coming from the group—the workstream under the programme We have got to tackle all of that It is not going to be good enough for us just to focus our attention on those children and young people and their families who reach a threshold because there are needs elsewhere as well and some of that will overlap with the early help and enhanced support Some of that overlaps with learning disability services Can I just mention a few more things as I am on roll on neurodevelopmental ?
Hefin David AM: It is up to the Chair
Carol Shillabeer: Is that all right ? Sorry I know it is a very long answer There is a concern from the neurodevelopmental group to get across that whilst there has been a lot of focus on autism—and we recognise the private Members Bill—there are other neurodevelopmental presentations and there is a real— Having the broadest view would be advised by them and I think they are particularly keen to understand what a future vision and what we call say a perfect world would look like That is the piece of work that we are wanting to do now In terms of giving advice at the end of the programme and into legacy arrangements about what the big big things are we are still needing to tackle
Hefin David AM: I mean I personally took a very personal decision when it came to the Members Bill on autism you were talking about—and that was the advice I received You need to look at the wider symptoms that are presented beyond autism and other neurological conditions So I am glad you said that because it gives me— Because I did not vote for that Bill and I am glad you said that because it gives me some personal reassurance there But what I do have concerns about is if the increase was not anticipated to the extent that it was and that the Together for Children and Young People programme has a duty to review capacity after October who is going to make sure that that capacitys reviewed on a strategic basis ?
Carol Shillabeer: So I should have probably added in that we have got a piece of work under way at the moment—Welsh Government commissioned it—by a person called Patrick Holton and he is specifically looking at the demands on capacity in relation to neurodevelopmental I think getting that slightly more independent view of what we think the trends are going to be over the long term will mean we can plan for the long term We know that moneys been put into this and it has had an important impact but we now need to be planning for the next three five 10 and many years beyond that There is the integrated autism service I think there are some conversations when I talk about the landscape being quite busy about the sense of where this links as we support people through their lives with a neurodevelopmental issue So it is not just about a childhood thing as people move through we have got to get much better at that longterm planning So that piece of work is really important We will get the report of that over the next couple of months in order for this sort of perfectworld picture that we want to try to describe to be informed by that It also connects to the early help and enhanced support because recognising if we just say half of the people who come for an assessment do not meet a threshold for a certain category that is a lot of people who will need help and support to manage and cope with their condition and their situation | In terms of an increase in neurodevelopmental referrals, Hefin David wanted to know its reasons and measures. Carol Shillabeer responded with no specific idea for the reasons and an introduction of delivery progression for the measures. Being asked, Carol then talked about a broader view of group work, mentioning the limitation of threshold and focused conditions. |

#Person1#: Absolutely not. The windows must be measured, and then the curtains need to be made professionally. So that will take a while. Maybe a month or so.
#Person2#: While the curtains are being made, I can start having people look at the kitchen. I can't stand that old kitchen. I won't be able to cook there. I don't want to use that electric stove.
#Person1#: We need to find an interior decorating company to redecorate the kitchen. I believe in Portland there are shops that specialize in kitchen renovation. I will look in the Yellow Pages. I'd like a kitchen mostly in ivory and light green.
#Person2#: I agree. The colors must be soft and pleasant. You should feel comfortable when you cook our dinners.
#Person1#: Me? Cook our dinners? Hah! You will be cooking, dear. You will cook.
#Person2#: No, I don't think so. I'll be too busy having tea in our new tea room.
#Person1#: Well, I suppose we'll have to hire a cook then. So you won't be able to afford any clothes next year.
#Person2#: And you'll have to sell your motorcycle. And your cameras. Right?
#Person1#: Maybe I'll cook once or twice a week. How is that?
#Person2#: Four times might be enough. Not once or twice. | #Person1# and #Person2# are going to redo the curtains and to paint the walls and ceilings.

#Person2#: OK. But I hate love stories. Any films about war on today?
#Person1#: I'm afraid not. How about the theatre?
#Person2#: Well, most plays are badly written, though they're cheap.
#Person1#: Let's go to a concert. You like music very much, don't you?
#Person2#: Yes, light music. But now you can only hear noisy music, American songs or songs where you can't understand a single word.
#Person1#: What are you going to do then?
#Person2#: Why not go to the library to borrow some books. You like reading as much as I do, don't you?
#Person1#: OK, let's. | After denying #Person1#'s many suggestions, #Person2# ultimately decides to go to the library to borrow some books with #Person1#. |

person: Look around fox....do you see any pirates here? They are nowhere to be seen. Drop the chickens now.
fox trying to steal chickens: Uhmm, these are clearly the remains of pirates that were shipwrecked upon arriving at this island. Do I sound like a dumb fox? Why would I argue with you if I was really trying to eat the king's chickens?
person: yes, I see that, and these chickens have nothing to fear from pirates who are only bones.
fox trying to steal chickens: That is true. I try to be safe rather than sorry. Why are you on this lonely island, person? Are you looking for some coconuts? I can help get them down for you.

pope: "Sins of the flesh are bad, but the sin of corruption is surely worse. But God sends these trials to test us."
preacher: Test us? So the men that walk these halls, the halls of the man who is speaking for god, who are suppose to be holy, are corrupt to test us or themselves? It sounds more like chaos than holy.
pope: "To test those who truly believe, so that we can show the strength of our faith. The true punishments and rewards are not in this life."
preacher: I'm sad to say I can't believe those words. That I believe this life is it now. And people will end up in the same place no matter how the act. Six feet in the ground.
pope: "My son, don't say such words! This life is hard, but you must stay strong in your faith!"
preacher: It is too late. I have nothing but respect for you, for you are the only person who acts according to his words. The rest of us lost faith long ago.
