Akbar, Zaynub
<p>Bore da. Croeso, everyone. Nice to see you again. Welcome to the second meeting of the Equality, Human Rights and Social Justice Committee. Today's meeting will start in public and is being broadcast live on Senedd.tv. The Record of Proceedings will be published after the session has finished. This meeting is bilingual, and simultaneous translation from Welsh to English is available. I haven't had any apologies yet. Laura Anne Jones will be joining us shortly. But before we begin, do Members wish to make any declarations of interest?</p>

<p>Yes, I do. I wanted to bring up Project, which is something that I worked on when I worked with Oxfam Cymru previously.</p>

<p>I used to work for advocacy services, and we might be discussing that. And I've got a family member that works in the services as well. </p>

<p>If I could just note the letter, if I may, from the Equality and Human Rights Commission. I just wanted to ask, Chair, if you intend to meet with the chair, Martyn Jones. He has offered a meeting and I was just wondering if there was any plan for you to meet with him, just to hear exactly how they can assist us. Thank you.</p>

<p>Yes, we've discussed this. I'll hopefully meet him over the summer recess, and then potentially there'll be a session with them coming in here to explain a bit more to all Members as well. Yes, Sarah.</p>

<p>Just to add to that, before I even knew I'd be on this committee, I did have a meeting with the EHRC. So, I'll share the notes from that meeting because I think that might be useful for you, and then you can add them to the minutes for the next meeting. I think there were a few points we raised, and some of it was in that letter. Hopefully that will be helpful.</p>
