I suppose that that begs questions about curriculum reform and how AI will impact on it. Some people are aware and are working with AI—even so, as Chris Ranson said, there are a lot of elements that must be worked through—but some people have no awareness or depth of knowledge, and are supposed to be leading young people. That needs to be impacted on, does it not?

Do you believe that there is something there, but not very much, and that it needs to be improved and expanded?

Claire Burns, do you believe that the involvement of the organisations and offices that you represent would have a beneficial impact on the delivery of the report’s content?

That is very helpful.
I will ask Fraser McKinlay a question on the back of that. To what extent are the aims of the Promise still achievable if workforce and capacity issues remain as they are now?

There have been very interesting responses to what has been asked so far.
As you will have heard, I asked pretty much the same question to the previous panel. What is the impact of recruitment and retention issues in the social work workforce on care-experienced people? Can you show us any signs of how that has manifested itself?

I will add a question for Nicola Killean and Claire Burns. The minister told us about a workforce improvement plan that is being developed and is due to be brought forward next year. I am not asking whether you think that that will work, but are people from your backgrounds being involved enough to ensure that the plan affects care-experienced young people when it is eventually delivered?

That is very positive. Thank you for that.
