Tabled on 11/06/2026 | For debate on 01/07/2026To propose that the Senedd:
1. Recognises the profound and lasting impact of trauma on individuals throughout their lives, and the way in which it shapes experiences across all aspects of life.
2. Acknowledges that approximately half of adults in Wales have experienced at least one Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE), which is associated with an increased risk of poorer physical and mental health outcomes, substance misuse, and the development of chronic conditions later in life.
3. Notes that action to address ACEs has already been embedded across a range of Welsh Government policy areas.
4. Welcomes the publication of the ACE Hub Wales Partner Communications Toolkit 2026, and recognises the opportunity it presents to support and strengthen trauma‑informed approaches across public sector organisations.
5. Calls on the Welsh Government to continue and strengthen efforts to integrate work to prevent and respond to ACEs across public services.
6. Calls on the Senedd Commission to consider:
a) developing plans to adopt trauma‑informed approaches across all Senedd activities and services, including (but not limited to) support for Members and their staff, as well as public engagement and outreach;
b) increasing awareness of the impact of trauma among Members, Commission staff, and those engaging with the Senedd, including through training and guidance; and
c) promoting approaches that place individuals at the centre of services, ensuring that processes, communications, and environments are accessible, sensitive, and do not inadvertently re‑traumatise individuals.

To propose that the Senedd:
1. Notes that the rising cost of ALN provision has been funded differently in Wales compared to England.
2. Notes the £113 million in additional funding secured for local government as a result of the budget deal between Plaid Cymru and the previous Welsh Government for 2026-27, representing a 4.5 per cent increase to the original settlement.
3. Notes that the supplementary budget introduced on 23 June retains the previous Welsh Government’s allocations for ALN provision, schools and local government services more broadly.
4. Believes that the current model of ALN funding is unsustainable, as highlighted by the findings of the recent Audit Wales report.
5. Recognises that growing pressures in the ALN system have had to be managed by teachers, schools, local authorities and families.
6. Resolves to work with the education sector, local government and other parties to ensure the ALN system is financially sustainable and leads to better outcomes for pupils.

To propose that the Senedd:
1. Notes that:
a) the nation of sanctuary is an approach to supporting people seeking asylum, including Ukrainian refugees of Putin’s illegal war of aggression;
b) immigration policy, including asylum and decisions on the placement and number of people placed in Wales, is reserved to the UK Government; and
c) Wales has a long history of welcoming people fleeing violence or persecution with respect and compassion.
2. Regrets the discourse and rhetoric that seeks to turn immigration and asylum into an issue to divide people and communities.
3. Resolves to proudly uphold the principles of international solidarity of supporting safe, united communities by working with partners to support people seeking sanctuary to integrate and contribute positively to our nation.
