For clarification, the first version of the bill did reference the Equality Act 2010.

Ministers, we have heard about transition being a whole-life change, and about there being different touch points throughout a person鈥檚 life at which they may need to dip into and out of that transition. I want to ask a couple of questions, specifically, or more unilaterally, about how the Government has explored access, so that support can be made more consistent across different services at particular times.

For example, although young people go to university, college or other types of further education, we should be mindful of the range of support, activity and opportunities that may help a transition at various points, including when someone is leaving school. It is not just about going on to further education. How have those things been considered in ensuring that young people get to live fulfilling lives? Clare Haughey, do you want to come in first?
