On 3 December 2024 I made a s Statement to the Senedd on attendance in which I confirmed the final meeting of the Taskforce would take place that month. The Taskforce is now closed. Building on their work and recommendations I have invested £8.8m across 2024-24 and 2025-26, which includes support for family engagement officers enabling them to address issues around engagement and attendance.
