What is the anticipated overall cost of consultation, awareness and potential implementation of school holiday reform?

Answered by Minister for Education and the Welsh Language | Answered on 08/12/2023

The expected cost in taking forward the Consultation on the School Year is approximately £130,000.00 (excluding VAT). This includes the delivery contractor costs and awareness raising activity. 

We do not wish to pre-judge the findings of the consultation and no decisions have been made. If any implementation costs were to be incurred, they would be determined by the findings and subsequent decisions.
