Minutes:
The Committee met with petitioners prior to the meeting and
thanked them for sharing their experiences. Members relayed petitioners’
concern that deaf children receive support as early as possible and that
Teacher of the Deaf (TOD) training be made available in Wales as well as
England.
The Committee agreed to write to the Cabinet Secretary for Education to ask her to reflect on and reconsider the Welsh Government’s rejection of recommendation 32 of the Children, Young People and Education Committee’s ‘Access to Education’ report. The Chair agreed that she would speak during the debate on the report to highlight the petition. Members agreed to keep the petition open as they believed further work can be done on the issue.
