Janet Finch-Saunders AM: Thank you So in your view though what are the reasons for the delays that some children experience in accessing EOTAS provision ? What ? Sorry I missed that
Nick Williams: Sorry Capacity : we just have not got enough spaces in some cases some year groups and so on Obviously given what I have said as well and I am sure it would be the same for all local authorities we have got to have robust systems and panels and so on to make sure that everything possible has been done to meet the needs of the learner in their home provision if you like the home school So there might be a time period when the learners are on a parttime timetable which is not ideal I accept but again it is working with the families and the youngsters Also for us as well we have reinvigorated our managed move provision and discussion We have somebody who oversees that and works very closely with our secondary schools so that we give almost a second chance to learners Sometimes it works really well sometimes the learner turns around and says Actually I preferred it in my old school So there is a coolingoff period as well I think the learner voice is very important there because— We have got to have a package I think that is quite wide in its offer
Janet Finch-Saunders AM: What would be the advantages or disadvantages then of local authorities having commissioning frameworks for providers and for EOTAS providers to have approved status ?
Nick Williams: Obviously we do do that but we are struggling sometimes for additional provision—very important around safeguarding However we do not want to make it too difficult so that we have not got any providers coming forward either So it is a little bit of a balancing act But first and foremost safeguarding is at the forefront of our thinking But I think then we need to perhaps think about how the staff in that sort of additional provision—what sort of training and support they have At the moment that is a struggle for us because we are managing those pressures in our own provision whilst we go out and observe through a provision framework to make sure that the provision is— But to actually offer some additional training is a challenge
Janet Finch-Saunders AM: thank you To what extent do local authorities know about the level of EOTAS provision that is organised by individual schools whether in an FE college or otherwise off the school site ?
Nick Williams: I can only speak for Swansea We know as part of that plan that we ask our schools to send in they have to put down where that provision is And obviously as part of the visits as well to the schools by the challenge advisers the school should be monitoring that provision and quality assuring that provision
Janet Finch-Saunders AM: And how is safeguarding monitored in terms of privately run EOTAS ? Independent
Nick Williams: The schools would have to make sure that—
Janet Finch-Saunders AM: But is that happening do you know ?
Nick Williams: Yes because schools do take safeguarding very very seriously They see the importance of it It is their prime driver in many ways
Janet Finch-Saunders AM: And is there a role for local authorities in quality assuring monitoring or evaluating the EOTAS provision organised by individual schools ?
Nick Williams: Yes but a lot of the additional provision is provision we also use in our experience So if it is MTP or something through the college like a mechanics course or something like that we are probably using it ourselves So it is quality assured if you like by two sides
Sharon Davies: In Torfaen our secondary schools have set out their own TCP—Torfaen curriculum panel—which looks at alternative provision So you have got senior leaders there who attend those meetings The meetings are facilitated and they are currently undergoing a review of the alternate provisions each school is doing because sometimes it is worked in the past but what they are seeing now is that it is not quite working now and it is understanding why Is it due to the complexity of the learners coming through ? Or is it that the providers are not offering what the learners are seeking any more ? So it is looking as well at coming back to that curriculum offer is it the right curriculum offer for those learners ? And the training of the staff do we have the right staff ? It is capacity then It is just quality assuring the provision Just because it is worked in the past—it is about keeping that momentum going
Janet Finch-Saunders AM: And should local authorities take a greater role in quality assuring individual tuition ?
Sharon Davies: Can I just ask what you mean by individual tuition ?
Janet Finch-Saunders AM: I suppose individual tuition in terms of each individual I would assume that means I would not like to think anyone was falling through—
Lynne Neagle AM: I think the purpose of the question is around home tuition yes
Janet Finch-Saunders AM: Yes Individual tuition in terms of we would not want any child if they are away from a mainschool setting to slip through the net in terms of tuition or safeguarding even
Sharon Davies: I suppose the difficulty with home tuition is as a local authority we are restricted on how much access we get into the home
Janet Finch-Saunders AM: Well I appreciate that and that is the—Inaudible
Sharon Davies: Therefore it is really difficult then to quality assure because unless the families invite us in there is very little— We are restricted in that respect
Janet Finch-Saunders AM: What about if they are in a private setting ?
Nick Williams: If they are following a restricted timetable or whatever because maybe they are school anxious and so on and we are trying to get them into our provision like that the hometuition staff work for us We do not use agency staff for instance to go in and provide a few hours of provision or to go to the local library So for whatever reason their needs at the moment can not be met in a school or in approved provision then the staff who do provide some education or if it is for medical reasons they work for us in the local authority So we are not using—
Janet Finch-Saunders AM: Is that widespread around Wales ?
Nick Williams: I do not really know the answer to that I am sorry I can only speak for Swansea
Sharon Davies: We are very similar to that
David Hopkins: Historically there has been a general pattern and if you are making a provision you will quality assure it clearly I think your question is probably about other forms of provision and how do you quality assure those And that is more difficult to answer I suspect
Lynne Neagle AM: What we were driving at was home tuition that is commissioned by the local authority but I think Nick has answered that now really if that is a consistent answer for local authorities Can I just ask before we move on in the WLGA paper you say you are concerned about the potential impact of changes to the registration of pupils who are EOTAS and the implications for the management of datafundingjoint working Can you expand on those concerns for the committee ?
Nick Williams: I think it is you know—
Lynne Neagle AM: It was the WLGA paper actually
David Hopkins: It was a joint paper You go on
Nick Williams: It is about getting that money following the learner and so on and that shared ownership of the learner that the schools need to keep because we want them reintegrated back into schools—that is the aim of any provision that we put in It is not permanent—except for certain learners that might be the case—so they are still if you like part and parcel of the school I think one of your other colleagues asked about the offrolling if you like—another term that is used—of students when they get to GCSEs so they do not count in schools data We are trying to very much move away from that through the messages that we all give our schools The messages that governors and headteachers then give to their staff So : They are our learners They are the most vulnerable learners we have got And for the individuals for the families and for society if we can not support these learners—we know the links then to crime and the cost to us as a society as well So it is in all our interests to do the very best for these learners | One of the advantages was that youngsters' voice could be heard in time if they showed the willingness to go back into school; the framework offered the excluded learners a cooling-off period. The disadvantage was mainly some individual schools' lack of capacity to organize and offer additional training. Monitor and evaluation systems of the EOTAS provision were supposed to be set up to ensure the education quality. |

priest: There is a very old cross and biblical text and scrolls out in the area in an old church somewhere. I would love to have them. They contain special and meaningful things.
traveler: I will make room for these treasures you seek. Do you have any further advice before I set forth toward the forest?
priest: Take these with you! Pray before you go in. Prepare yourself with food and supplies. It is dangerous out there.
traveler: I appreciate your generosity towards a stranger in your office. I will prepare well, starting with replacing the shoes I have worn through during my travels.
priest: Yes, bundle up and make sure you can supply food, weaponry, and comfort. Creatures out there are not like any you have seen before. Word has it that there could be a witch.

Marketing: can I steal the cable ?
Project Manager: Oh sorry you can indeed
Marketing: I got a how do I start there ?
Project Manager: Oh if you click on the the one that that looks like a projection screen no the one to the right of that That one
Marketing: That one Cool Well these are functionality requirements from the our our guys down in the the research lab Took hundred people and covered all the aspects of what is needed by people and what they want to see everything kind of from functionality and how individual functions are how mu how how often they are used and how much their necessary and stuff And general opinions about current current remotes See that as we kind of noticed seventy five percent of people find their remote controls ugly So some kind of a new style should be incorporated that is less ugly along with looking less ugly if it looks better eighty percent of people said they would spend more money on it Which is a a plus for us if we can make it look better it would be more cost effective and we can put the price up Current remote controls do not match the operating behaviour of the user I can empl I kind of take that to mean as they they do not they they only use they only work for the television or like as in in my flat I have got six remote controls for a stereo system a digital box a DVD player a video player and TV If it was I mean th my behaviour is to use multiple things at the same time and multiple remotes are not really matched well to my behaviour again seventy five percent is seventy five percent of users say they zap a lot I took to mean that they just they use it a lot they use it regularly rather than standing up and manually change channels or volume And I think the big issue is fifty percent users only use ten percent of the buttons because wh if we got a remote that like well we will have some buttons taken off by the lack of teletext but oh and we are going to see on the that some of the functions like audio settings are not h hardly ever used and used very are not considered relevant by the user So I think maybe fewer buttons which also make the design look sleeker I do not know and frustrations of like people losing remote control I do not know maybe some kind of system of you press a button on the TV or maybe that is b it would have to incorporate but like some kind of system where you can f use something else to find the remote control Maybe like it will beep or something And yep the time taken to learn new remote controls is do not want to make it too complicated easy to use for new like first time users and stuff And repetitive strain injury I suppose we should make it more comfortable and make ma possibly even use have to make it fewer buttons like I was saying about the whole mice the mouse idea of it feels more comfortable Maybe do not even have to hold it as such
Project Manager: Gosh must be some telly addicts out there if they get RSI from their television remote is all I can say
Marketing: But It also asked if we would if people would pay more for speech recognition and younger people say they would And there was another section on our on the report for LCD displays but the data was not there so I do not actually know what the results for that were so May be incrementally emitting but
Project Manager: I must say that the I c can not remember what f you know phone service I was using the other day but that had sorta speech recognition which worked remarkably well so that is indeed a a thought
Marketing: And it would cut out the RSI as well if you
Project Manager: and it it cuts out I was was going to say you can not get a lot of RSI j just get jaw ache sorry
Marketing: oh so possibly the speech recognition is possibly something could add into the design Oh I have got some other things I could not fit onto this presentation You see this ? Almost no ? It is sorry it is a bit I will read out to you functionality like peoples opinions on functionality the relevance to the remote and how often they are used So like the power Using the using the d swi the power switch to switch on TV is a high relevance of nine but it is not frequently used You see what I mean ? Whereas channel selection which is very high relevance is used the most So m we can maybe even start to cut down on or I was possibly even thinking of a design that maybe some of the buttons are hidden from everyday use Maybe like a folding ledge or something So that we can maybe go into the channel settings and the audio settings and rarely used And keep the v volume selection and channel selection very easily
User Interface: It could be oh I was just going to say maybe like the flip phones that they use ? Have you seen the new mo mobile phones that flip out and they have the like texting and then the numbers on one side you could have the most used buttons on top and flip it out or something
Marketing: like the one that like slides back
Project Manager: Should we actually bite the bullet here ?
Marketing: and the buttons are concealed underneath
Project Manager: If people really do not use those buttons to any extent at all remove them altogether
Marketing: Just remove them completely ?
Project Manager: We we could actually have we could actually have a remote control with I wonder whether we could get the remote control with no buttons at all if we went for voice recognition given that the now the the age structure we were looking at I mean w we had usage by age structure what we did not have was what proportion of people using remotes were in those particular age groups Now do we know whether they Forty no sorry for forty five to fifty five age group to put myself right in the middle of it you use remote controls to a great extent
Marketing: no this is for pay more for speech recognition
Project Manager: That would ve speech recogn right So we are looking at well again we do not know the relative proportion the relative numbers in the age groups If we wanted something different truly different then the buttonless remote control w would be it
Industrial Designer: P Well the only problem I can think of with that is if you have got a lot of people that do not want to be bothered learning how to use new rem remote controls If you just kind of take away everything that they are used to knowing that is going to be quite a change
Project Manager: But if you just lift it up and say channel one or BBC
Marketing: Or even I mean you could even just have it left on You could just put it down once on top your TV and never have to
User Interface: have a big kind of like the satellite box or the cable box and have it just go on the TV and then it does not matter where in the room you are you will not lose it
Project Manager: It c well it I can I can see technical problems with that in terms of the you know the sound from the television because if somebody actually on the television says you know ITV and you are watching BBC then then it might change itself so it probably needs to be possibly actually need a button on it Or or something just to identify that you have lifted it up and it is use And and then just say oh I do not know a thought and and then I mean that that would certainly be truly different because you know audio settings nought point eight percent I mean if they were not there would people miss them ?
Industrial Designer: But look at the importance of them The volume settings
Marketing: Relevance of two out of ten
Industrial Designer: They are not used often but they are quite important when they are used
Project Manager: w we need to s identify things that people actually need and and it is a function of frequency and relevance And I would say ignoring ig ignoring power for the moment the channel and volume and th w w given given that we have been told to ignore teletext channel and volume are the only ones that would appear to be essential So if we can design something that that looks interesting know or looks different incorporates the the logo and and the colours and we can still have our interchangeable fascias even if it is the yellow and grey and I do not know buttons or or buttons as an option
Marketing: I just had a thought actually sorry to interrupt you were saying about it could technical problems of like someone on the television saying a channel number and it changed we could maybe have like an activation word Because I have seen I have seen this used on computers before where you just you address the remote you address the computer and then give it a command
Project Manager: if we want to make this so simple that anybody can walk into the room and lift it up and say
Marketing: Oh I see Oh I see
Project Manager: BBC one I mean you could print actually print it on the
Marketing: I mean I am just thinking of the point of view of peop you could still like lose this remote
Project Manager: S th this I th that is always going to be a problem I think and I I I s so I suppose one could make it so desirable that if people lose it they immediately go out and buy another one Anyway sorry carry on Do you want to just carry on with no no no b I was in the middle of in the middle of your report there
Marketing: sorry Oh well I was just kind of wrapping up there I was thinking maybe such things are relevant We could make things much more f I think the the eighty percent of people would spend more on a remote that looks better combined with decrease the or take out the limited functio functions that we do not really use much alright take out teletext but as for channel settings and stuff it might it might turn people somewhe peop some people that want the whole functionality away But since if we are marketing a more kind of fashionable approach then it would it would be fashion and fashion over practicality
Project Manager: Mmhmm S s we could we could make it dual function voice recognition and still have buttons on it
Marketing: Oh we could We c we could even have it as like a the buttons control this and the voice functions control the f things that you would do all the time so So if we could power on and channel selection and and volume selection would not have to really
Project Manager: The I mean the the advantage of doing away the buttons altogether is it makes the thing cheaper
Marketing: and probably it would look better as well
Project Manager: No it cou certainly opens up the possibility for making it you know visually very distinctive because you know it does not have to be a oblong box
Marketing: Lined with numbered buttons and
Project Manager: Mm who sorry have you have you finished there Andy ? Yep yep given that we have already had a extensive discussion
User Interface: well I can do mine
Marketing: Do you want the cable ?
User Interface: let us see if I can make this work
Industrial Designer: Oh you have to hit like function and F something
Marketing: give it about twenty seconds or so
User Interface: Oh so this is just about the technical functions So the method I looked online for examples of other similar products and then just kind of was trying to brainstorm some possible design ideas and identify what the necessary things are what people are what you really want to have a remote control do and then there are two different kinds that I found There is a user centred one and an engineering centred one which I will have pictures of and then we kind of have to decide which one this should be So these are the two different ones This one this is the user centred it has quite a few mm fewer buttons and then this is the engineering centred which has a lot more buttons and probably this is one that people complain about about having too many buttons that you do not use So basically what a remote control is is you it is to send messages to the television set you know turn on off switch the channels and the volume and things such as that And so for this product it is going to be television only and then it has to have the logos for the company and the colours And so for my personal preferences I think this one is easier to use and has quite a you know fewer buttons we want something that sends messages easily to the television and I was kind of wondering about this example that they have It looks kind of narrow at the top and I was thinking maybe if it were wider at the top then that would be easier and so we have to decide what is going to make our product different E the unique style maybe have it light up so it is visible in the dark the changeable faceplates and the lighting up and visible I was when we were talking about havi losing it maybe to have a button on the television that you press and it maybe if it makes a noise or lights up or something like that so it is easier to find if someone has hidden under the couch or something like that So that is my presentation | Marketing summarized the market research results and revealed that fifty percent users only use ten percent of the buttons. So the team proposed to reduce buttons to a minimum. Marketing believed that speech recognition could also contribute to this regard. User Interface showed a user-centred remote control and an engineering-centred one and preferred the user-centred one as it had fewer buttons and was easier to hold. |

Marketing: so a lot of people have to be able to use it
Industrial Designer: No but the b the buttons have to have to have international recognisable buttons and and numbers and that every culture in people in every country can recognise
Project Manager: I will make notes and then maybe well I will put it in the project folder when I am done just now
User Interface: I also think we should not add too many buttons Modern day remotes have too much buttons I think
Project Manager: Y y you do not use the half of them that is that is
Marketing: Maybe we could make one button to switch between DVD player and TV and make the other buttons multifunctional or something
Industrial Designer: so it does not become too complicated with too much buttons and
Project Manager: Yep and maybe we do we even have more than just a DVD player Do not we have other ou
User Interface: we should make it compatible perhaps with everything we use we we make ?
Industrial Designer: And stereo s audio installations
Project Manager: We also just released a TFT thing I saw
Marketing: so but th that is kind kind of standard T television so it also works on that
User Interface: And I think the people who who will buy our remote already have some experience with remotes So we can keep that in mind
Project Manager: It does not have to be but we can
Industrial Designer: it does not have to be
User Interface: W well it is a n it is a new remote and you do not buy a remote if you do not have anything to to control with it
Project Manager: Well except if we deliver it together with our DVD
Marketing: We need to to keep it consistent with other d
Project Manager: because we look at competitors and w if we pick up the good things about that and give it a nice design
Marketing: but it is it has to be useable
Industrial Designer: It has to be different and familiar at the same time
User Interface: we could use another form or shape or colour that kind of things
Industrial Designer: the shape will will have to be recognised I thought about like most remote controls are a long box shaped thing you can make it triangle shaped
User Interface: Well we we could make more more oval or something and and
Industrial Designer: but that is not very recognisable
Project Manager: N we can use it as a as a game pad So one hand has the beer so the other hand
User Interface: but young people want something different
Marketing: but it is quite important that it fits
Project Manager: one of our aims is that it has to be original and trendy so
Industrial Designer: Oh but it ha it has to be m But you still have to know it is a remote and not another
Project Manager: Well there has been done a lot of researches about remotes we have to we can imagine because it is a long time on the market So the the form will have been tested out so
Industrial Designer: so the long box shaped thing must be useful or else they would have been ano another shape
Project Manager: for me personally I have a a lot of remotes at home but those ones that have a a round ending and well just an square middle I do not like to use them I have have to it has to fit my hands When it falls over it and I just have and then the button that I use most has to be here
Marketing: It should not be boxy
Industrial Designer: a lo the long box shape You have to use one hand
Project Manager: It f it fits your hands and then you just push the button that you use most with thumb
Marketing: Nah I do not agree with the long box shape it it has to be custom made for the hand
Project Manager: Though though those new DVD players on the market do have those
Industrial Designer: But it does fit in the hand if you hold it like this and you can make it another shape
Marketing: but if you shape it
User Interface: No if y if you look at new Phillips DVD with their remotes pl players they they are the new remotes are not box shaped
Industrial Designer: W no w what else ?
Marketing: No that is old old fashioned
Industrial Designer: well but what what what do you suggest then ?
Marketing: I can imagine that us
User Interface: Well most of of them are are somewhat thicker at the end and get thinner towards the the other end
Marketing: right It fits in your palms
Industrial Designer: but it is still then the the long box but then with some round round forms in it to fit your hand
Project Manager: A it h it has it it has a that is tha th th shape that it fits your hand
Industrial Designer: but it is it is still al alright but but it is still it is still sort of box It it has round forms but it in the end it is still the box so that is what I mean
Marketing: but it has it has to fit your hand
Industrial Designer: I understand but no no I do not mean an entire box like completely square
Marketing: It should not be too boxy you know
Industrial Designer: but a also with round edges of course but in in in at the end it is still this long box shape with convenient round shapes to fit
Marketing: Right maybe something like this and then a button here to switch between different systems like DVD player
Industrial Designer: I thought about something like that
Marketing: and so you can I have
Industrial Designer: A big recognisable button on top or something
Marketing: right and I do think we have to keep this kind of idea with the with the numbers and
Project Manager: We have five minutes left
Industrial Designer: The buttons should also be not too small not too big of course and n not too close together
Marketing: But it should be possible to to make it ap apparent that there are two functions for every button So there has to be some space between the buttons
Industrial Designer: of course to to to have icons to explain the different functions
Marketing: and maybe we should use colours
User Interface: maybe we can just like on cell phones those well you can you can put on on them and so you can customise your your own remote with different colours or or special paint jobs
Marketing: That is kind of trendy right
User Interface: I do not know but
Industrial Designer: I think we have to talk also about the the materials for
Project Manager: Well it is just about our first ideas now so I think individually we will have to come up with ideas for the next meeting about these materials and markets etcetera
Industrial Designer: Already thought about something tha
Marketing: I think it is it is important to notate all the the decisions that we make
Project Manager: Well thirty minutes we have So This is about what we are going to do You will get specific instructions when you are back in your room so it is logical I think Oh and that is that is all So we will just get a notice that the the meeting is over
Industrial Designer: now we can still talk about the material we have some some minutes left I w wrote down that the case should be plastic of course hard plastic the buttons should be rubbery I think
Marketing: it should not be too heavy
Project Manager: Well I have had remotes that they had the function of the buttons was about a layer over the buttons and when I have had use it much it was gone So it has to be made in the buttons I think It has to not be loose
Industrial Designer: Mm Alright And of course there are several electrical cables in it to to connect things to each other
Project Manager: Is there an a universal universal way of transmitting from the remote to the television so it is all about
Industrial Designer: It is a a common stan standard way
Project Manager: It is not that in China it is different ?
Industrial Designer: infrared beams an infrared beam I think
Project Manager: But y you can have of course different between DVDs and televisions and between
Industrial Designer: It it is a we we make an a universal remote so it ha has to work with all kinds of brands and things
User Interface: But our TVs are mostly made in China and that sort of country so
Industrial Designer: And have well I have wrote something down about how it works The user presses a button and with an infrared beam it signals the television set accordingly but that is pretty obvious I think
Marketing: Are we going w with the front fronts idea ?
Project Manager: Well I think w we can look into that in the in the next thirty minutes
Marketing: I think we should make it universal and you can always use a front front on it you know ? You can use it just plain but you can To make it more trendy
Project Manager: Well j just y you get a n a normal front with it but you can change them when you buy the And we should dispatch those kind of fronts fronts a a around the world so
User Interface: Well you can make profit with them and it is a way to make them trendy
Project Manager: Well th those fifty million do not do not se sells itself so we have to make some extra effort like fronts
Industrial Designer: Well but th but the standard front will be just grey or something b a simple colour not not very flashy
Project Manager: Yes well it has to it h it has to fit the the te television and DVD set we are going to sell
User Interface: No a colour everyone accepts
Project Manager: so if they are black and black black and silver we will make them black and silver so
Industrial Designer: Pink television sets pink remote
Marketing: But people of often do not like bright colours or something We have to make it grey or s or black
User Interface: Well young people s li
Marketing: but then you can use a a front
Industrial Designer: I must not forget my pen the next time
Project Manager: If you have a a a television room for little children and you make a if if you buy a a pink front they will they will love it I think But that is marketing research you can you can ask
Marketing: or a t Teletubby front I will investigate
Project Manager: Yes Well our user interface you can maybe I do not know what your specific instructions will be but probably about the precision of the buttons and and those kind of things and what buttons will have to be on the remote And you will look into the technical design and form I think
Industrial Designer: Mm also the the look and feel of the the remotes also my task | The team came up with some general desired features about their new TV remote controls,including compatibility, appearance and functions .First, they thought compatibility is of importance.Second ,they thought good looks and sizes of remote controls were two vital features .Third, buttons should be designed properly. |
