Tinetti JanJAN TINETTI (Labour): It's a wonderful opportunity to be here and stand to talk on the fantastic bill here the Education and Training Bill. This bill of course is a key part of the broader work plan that this Government has had and has going forward in education. This bill is the key legislation the key framework that shapes our system. It brings together many different forms of legislation that have been built up over the years—legislation that I have to say has been difficult for the people that work within the sector to actually navigate. So bringing it together pulling it together and modernising it into this particular bill is very much overdue and has long been desired by the sector and is a bill that is very much welcomed. I'm not going to take much time here this evening because I think that it's been said in previous speeches and also the Minister of Education's first speech but there are a couple of areas that I would like to just take some time to comment on. Firstly: enrolment zones. We've heard some opposition around the provisions in this particular bill around enrolment zones and the fact that there is opposition over that side of the House around the Secretary for Education taking over the development and consultation of the enrolment schemes. For those numbers of schools that those people are hearing from that are opposed to this there are an equal if not more greater amount of schools who are actually welcoming these changes. These changes will make these schemes more equitable for those schools. There are a number of schools that have struggled with the enrolment zones. It is a burdensome process for boards of trustees and many have stated over a number of years that they wish that there was a more equitable fairer scheme in place that could actually take that burden away from them and they could actually then focus on their key governance roles. Unfortunately we heard from the other side during the committee of the whole House that there was concern around the role of the principal. I share those concerns. It is a very very hectic role that puts a lot of pressure on the individual. In many schools the board of trustees is actually guided a lot by the principal in that enrolment scheme development and it's the principal who actually takes on more workloads and takes them away from their key role of leading teaching and learning within their school. So I see this as being something really positive for our education system and really positive for those schools who really struggle—actually for all schools—because in effect it will lead towards a much fairer system and a fairer enrolment scheme within our education system.I do want to very briefly in my final couple of minutes just talk about the changes that have been made in the physical restraint. We've heard that this is one end of the spectrum which will be the teaching workforce. We've got the disability sector over here and we're trying to find this place in the middle. I absolutely welcome these changes. It is a really hard space to actually navigate but I think there are some key pieces in this legislation that will point towards a way in the future. The key changes are around the requirements around training for our teaching workforce. We must see that happen. I like the discussions of some ideas about those ways forward. We've got some fantastic training programmes in that space here in this country at the moment. I am myself trained in non-violent crisis intervention NVCI. I think it is a fantastic training programme. If our teaching workforce were trained to that level—not necessarily that particular programme but to that level—then we will go some way to addressing our concerns of our disability sector. This is a fantastic bill and I have absolutely no hesitation in commending this to the House.
