We come to Jackie Dunbar.

I have a final quick ask. You have highlighted that the SQA involves teachers in developing awards and revising school qualifications. I hope that you can send some details of that to the committee in writing, if you do not mind.

We do, provided that it is a succinct response—if you do not mind, Fiona.

Willie Rennie has a brief question.

I welcome our second set of witnesses. We are joined by Laurence Findlay. He is the director of education and children’s services with Aberdeenshire Council but, today, he is representing the Association of Directors of Education in Scotland, which we will refer to as ADES this morning. We are also joined by Anne Keenan, assistant secretary with the Educational Institute of Scotland; Graham Hutton, general secretary with School Leaders Scotland; and Stuart Hunter, president of the Scottish Secondary Teachers Association.

I thank you all for joining us this morning. I apologise for the shite—the slight delay—[Laughter.] That is worse than “sausages”. I hope that the Official Report picks that one up. Apologies. I wonder what will be picked up. We will move straight to questions from members, just to get away from me and my red face. Pam Duncan-Glancy is first.

I am sorry—it is Liam Kerr first.

It is okay—you tripped up, although not in the same way that I did.

Anne, would you like to go next?

Those are some helpful examples.

The other three panel members have talked about additional support needs, but I wonder, Laurence, whether you can focus on the care-experienced young people angle.
