That would be great, because we will be seeing you again.

That is good to hear. In addition to that on-going commitment, the Scottish Government has made seven other commitments that are outstanding—five dating from 2023 and two from 2024. What is being done to ensure that all those seven commitments are met?

Lessons will have been learned from the 2023 legislation and brought to bear on the 2024 legislation, so presumably the issue will have been resolved in its own way.

Yes—thanks, convener.

As has been said, it is very important that schools are not pinned to the wall and vilified because somebody has decided that something is not right. The fact is that every school has an overarching local authority, and the local authority’s contribution to the delivery of education needs to be evaluated, too. I see what you are saying about not pinning people to the wall and saying, “You’re no doing it right”, “You’re doing it wrong” or whatever, because there is more to it all than an immediate inspection would suggest. How do you communicate to learners, their parents and their carers—and, in fact, to voters in local authority areas—how a school is performing once you have overcome the difficulties with the present inspection regime? How do you get that out and let people know how a school is improving?

You have a lot of work there by the sounds of it. Thank you very much indeed for that.

I have a potentially controversial question for Gillian Hamilton. What is your view of the suggestion that the inspectorate should be able to inspect the function and performance of other national bodies?

I presume, then, that the witnesses are proposing that the correct way forward would be for us to be able to hear about not just when somebody has done something wrong, but all the things that are being done well. We need to push those things out, too, so that people believe in schools and we raise their expectations of schools and what they deliver.

Okay—you will do it anyway.

Yes, but the inspectorate will look into the functions and performance of other national bodies.

Delivery is at the heart of the whole thing. Thank you very much for that.

That sounds sensible. Does Stuart Hunter want to comment?
