Decision details

Short Debate

Decision Maker: Plenary - Fourth Assembly

Status: Recommendations approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Purpose:

Short debates differ from other debates as they allow any Member, other than a member of the government, to have a general debate on a topic of interest or constituency matter, without requiring the Assembly to vote at the end of the debate (as there is no associated motion).  Members are selected from a ballot held by the Presiding Officer and permitted to bring forward a topic of their choice.  The Member will open the debate and speak for their allocated time. The Minister or Assembly Commissioner responsible for the topic being discussed usually responds to the short debate.

NDM5044 Aled Roberts (North Wales): Dyslexia and Schools: Working Together to Make a Difference.

 

All pupils in Wales need support to develop their literacy skills, and it is essential that young people with dyslexia have access to the appropriate assessment, intervention and additional support they will need during their schooldays. The way in which teachers apply their skills, methods and competencies to young people with dyslexia is crucial and can make a huge difference to a child’s life-chances.
