I have a supplementary question for Cailyn McMahon. This is specific to our party, but if a sitting MSP came in on an all-women list and is very competent, strong and doing a good job, will there be any protections in place to prevent a male person from challenging her?

Will a lot of it come down to flexibility and what is offered when, with it spread over 12 months?

Is it the case that some of the guidance and discussions that are going on are not really landing, because teachers are busy and there is so much policy work?

Thank you.

Good morning, panel. Thanks for all your evidence so far. Is the level of provision of residential outdoor education declining and, if so, what are the reasons for that?

Do you have ideas about how support could be given to tackle those issues?

Good morning, and thank you for your answers so far, which have been helpful. I am interested in how schools ensure that residential outdoor education is part of a wider learning experience. Tara, you said that it should be woven through the curriculum. Can you tell us more about that?

How engaged are schools and pupils? Do they have a say on outcomes from residentials and what they will get out of them?

Thank you. Written submissions have highlighted tight margins, low wages and high turnover of staff. Are sufficient numbers of aspirant instructors coming into and staying in the industry?

What options do you have to enforce your recommendations when you write reports?
