  In the last weeks of the Sixth Senedd, I stood in solidarity with Cwm Taf Morgannwg’s health visitors, who have been on strike since the beginning of March.  I also questioned the First Minister on the matter, asking the Welsh Government to intervene.  They deserve fair pay that reflects their qualifications, responsibilities and professional status.   These are all women and work in some of the most deprived communities in Wales delivering essential public health and support children and their families.  The need to be rewarded correctly for the work that they do and are being denied by a health board not willing to implement what they have already agreed.     They have showed incredible resilience for well over two years and have been forced to enter another ballot to strike for a second month.    The health board must deliver on previous commitments, and if they don’t, the Welsh Government must take action. Social partnership should be meaningful.  

From 13 April to 17 July 2026, schools across Wales will take part in the next Sport Wales School Sport Survey – a vital opportunity for children and young people in Years 3–11 to share their views on sport and physical activity. With every school invited, this year’s survey will help build the most detailed picture yet of: How active young people are What sports and activities they enjoy What barriers might be holding them back
