If there is anything further that you would like to clarify and that would be useful for the committee, please provide it in your follow up. Willie Rennie has questions for our witnesses from Taith.

Just for clarification, is it correct that the Scottish Government was in touch with your colleagues in the Welsh Government?

That is great to hear, and that is what we would hope and expect. Thank you. I will hand back to Meghan Gallacher for questions to our witnesses in Wales.

Good morning and a warm welcome to the 16th meeting in 2023 of the Education, Children and Young People Committee. We have apologies from Bob Doris, Ross Greer and our convener, Sue Webber. I welcome Meghan Gallacher and Ivan McKee as substitute members. Stephanie Callaghan joins us remotely.
A reminder for those who are joining us remotely: if you would like to come in at any point, please type R in the chat function, and the clerks will alert me.
Our first agenda item is an evidence session on international learning exchange programmes. I warmly welcome Susana Galván, executive director, and Elid Morris, head of operations, Taith, who join us remotely; and Liz Green, workforce and practice manager, YouthLink Scotland, who joins us in person.
Members have a number of questions, which they will direct either to Liz Green, in the room, or to our witnesses from Taith, down the line. Our first questions are to YouthLink Scotland and come from Stephanie Callaghan.

Thank you. I will just comment on that point first. Liz, it is likely that the committee will follow that up with the Government after this evidence session. Of course, a hiatus in correspondence does not necessarily mean that work is not happening in the civil service.

In a similar way, I am interested in anything that Susana Galván wants to elaborate on. You talked about the stories that you are collecting, but is an assessment of the student experience being carried out? Are you taking on student feedback to inform how Taith will be funded in due course?
