Will you be able to share that with the committee?

Good morning, minister and officials.

With regard to the Fees for Scheme Membership and Disclosure Applications (Scotland) Regulations 2025, I am interested in understanding the level of engagement with staff who will now pay fees for their membership of the scheme. What is the minister’s understanding of whether those fees should be passed on to individual staff to pay themselves, or whether organisations should be looking to cover them? Does the minister think that staff should have to pay the fee themselves?

Related to the issue of uptake are the issues that specific family groups are facing. For example, we know that families with children with additional support needs and single-parent and lone-parent families are finding it difficult to access provision, and sometimes families work particular shift patterns that do not necessarily fit in with current provision. What work is being done to address those concerns?

Good morning. Thank you for attending and for answering the questions that you have had so far. I know that this is a difficult set of circumstances, and I appreciate the way in which you have engaged with the questions and the answers that you have given.

I wish to ask specifically about how teachers in classrooms will be able to input into the SQA and qualifications Scotland in the future. How will they be able to raise concerns? I have some specific examples, which I will come back to, but my broad question is, how will classroom teachers be able to raise concerns?

Colleges Regionalisation Inquiry: Post-Inquiry Scrutiny

Meeting date: 5 February 2025

You have all said in advance of today that flexibility is important, as it allows you to do the things that you want to do. Do either of the principals have any examples of situations in which something is getting in the way of good examples of collaboration being delivered?

Good morning. Thank you for your opening statement, which I found incredibly helpful and really powerful. I am sure that people who are listening will understand that the sector finds itself in very difficult circumstances, but we can hear the hope that you have for it, and it is in that context that I will ask my questions.

I listened to your answer to the deputy convener’s question, about changing the funding at pace. Can you give us a sense of why the pace is not what you would like it to be?
