Stephanie Callaghan would like to come in.

Do you get into all schools? I speak to employers who find that, although there are some really positive experiences of engagement with schools, it is very hard to get through the front door of some schools.

I also asked about the broader pitching of the sector. In relation to career structure, what has been done to sell the hospitality sector to younger people in order to attract them into the sector?

Where is the sector on the journey with regard to the perception of hospitality changing from it involving low skills and low pay to it involving higher skills and much better pay?

Do not let me put words in your mouth, Leon, but you seem to be saying that the sector understands that the ball is at its feet as much as at the feet of anyone else when it comes to changing perceptions and selling the reality that someone can have a very positive career in hospitality.

Yes. That is what I am looking for.

That is good. We will work our way round the table, because everyone wants in on this issue—it is a hot topic.

We are talking about a situation in which an individual, in the course of doing regulated work, has

“harmed a child … placed a child at risk of harm ... engaged in inappropriate conduct involving pornography ... engaged in inappropriate conduct of a sexual nature involving a child”

or a protected adult or has

“given inappropriate medical treatment to a child”

or a protected adult. That is how people end up on the list.

When you speak about a change in circumstances, what does that mean? How do you define a change in circumstances? We are talking about a serious misdemeanour whether somebody is 16, 24 or 34.

Why is the age of 25, rather than 24 or 26, proposed?
