Speeches by Paffey.

“On one of the specifics of the reform around regional care co-operatives, what evidence have you seen so far from the current pilots that these are a successful measure?”

“When do you expect to be able to give the first update on the impact? When do you expect there to be something at least substantive enough to comment on and give some initial findings?”

“Have you yet decided what those things are, what data you will need at what point?”

“That is how you will report. How are you going to monitor it? I accept that it will be phased, but what resource will go into that? What will you be asking from partners to help you come to the conclusion that these measures are working successfully or not?”

“On both outcomes and the cost of achieving those outcomes, you have mentioned the measures that are taking place to reform the social care market. You mentioned bringing down profiteering and so on, and other measures. How are you going to be monitoring and reviewing that and making sure that the impact we need to see …”

“June, okay.”

“We will have detail on the result of those discussions when, roughly?”

“That is true. I have been responsible for doing that in local government and you are absolutely right that you cannot stop reacting while you are embedding the foundations of preventative work. Is it your view that the Treasury is hearing that? That double running period will have to go and therefore we need to ensure …”

“Thank you. I recognise and very much welcome the additional money that has been promised. For clarity, you are saying t hat we are moving in the right direction. Are you moving specifically towards a £2.6 billion spend on the things that the review recommended or are you saying, if I have understood rightly, that you i…”

“Good morning, Minister. From both our side and your side we have referenced the very important independent review of children’s social care that was done. One of the conclusions of that was that an additional £2.6 billion needed to be spent over a four-year period to get the outcomes that it was recommending. Do you ag…”

“I rise to comment on Government new clauses 18 to 22 and new clause 3. I very much welcome the new corporate parenting duties and the value they add to the Bill and to the activities of authorities up and down the country. The new clauses add value because this Bill is about boosting standards in schools and creating o…”

“I think it is very well acknowledged that the current Ofsted system does not value inclusion properly and that the unintended consequence is that you get schools adopting exclusionary practices because of what they are measured on. Maybe starting with Margaret Mulholland and then opening out, I would like to hear how y…”

“T6. A constituent of mine, aged just 21, tragically died after accessing pro-suicide online forums that not only encouraged self-harm, but advertised how to get lethal drugs and how to exploit loopholes that allowed this. The substance used in her death can still be bought on Amazon today. What steps will the Minister …”

“In about no more than 10 seconds each, because we have to move on, if you could recommend one element to be added to the inclusion criteria that Ofsted is going to be doing, what would that be? We will start with Catherine and go along the line very quickly. I am sorry to put you on the spot.”

“Thank you all so much.”

“Thank you all so much.”

“You will be aware that the Behan report made recommendations around strengthening the voice of students, particularly in the OfS’s governance. You have touched on it a bit, but could you say a bit more about the concrete deliverables that you would seek to achieve within the first couple of years?”

“I, too, am proud to point back to a 20-year career in higher education. I am a previous member of the UCU. Carrying on in the same vein, this Education Committee in its previous iteration heard evidence that suggested the OfS did not have “particular presence or standing in the minds of students”. Before I ask you how …”
