Minutes:
The Committee considered the petition and wished to thank the pupils of Libanus Primary for engaging with the petitions process. Members recognised that the Government have established a Disability Rights Taskforce, which is due to publish its action plan by March 2024, noting that work is ongoing to address concerns.
Members agreed to share the views of the pupils with the Minister for Social Justice and ask that these views are shared with the Taskforce. In doing so Members agreed that there is little further the Committee can do whilst awaiting the report from the Taskforce next year, and therefore the petition will be closed. They congratulated the pupils of Libanus primary for highlighting this important issue.
