Minutes:
The Committee agreed to write back to the Finance Secretary to commend the Welsh Government for funding the programme for as long as it had, given that policing is not devolved, but to highlight the concerns of Policing in Wales about the planning and consultation process. The Committee also agreed to write to the Home Office to stress the importance of funding the provision of this work in Wales.

Minutes:
The Committee considered the petition and noted that these
programmes had been running for 21 years, despite the non-devolved aspect, but
that difficult choices had to be made by the Welsh Government on funding.
Members agreed to write to the Chief Constables and the Police and Crime
Commissioners for the four police forces in Wales to ask:
- for
clarity on if and how their schools programme had changed;
- the
outcomes of the investment made over the past 21 years;
- and
their views on the impact of the cut to Welsh Government funding.
It was agreed to keep the petition open until the next Welsh Government budget cycle
