So this is an opportunity to do that.

Yes, I do.

I mean, honestly, I wouldn't be doing it if I just thought, oh, God, we're just going to, you know, write a couple of reports and that will be very interesting.

There'll be a bit of media coverage.

Then it'll all die.

I'm not interested in that.

I don't need that.

So what I'm doing, and just to prove the change, not only is going to happen, but already is happening.

As I'm going around the country, doing a lot of visits to a lot of places, particularly areas where, you know, this problem is concentrated, everywhere I'm going, I'm saying to the local leaders, whether that's a mayor,

council leader, MP, employers, college, guys, what are you going to do about it?

Because don't wait for my review and my report.

You can do something about it.

I was in Bradford, as I said, the other week.

They used to have amongst the worst NEET rate for 16 to 17-year-olds in the country, right?

They've really focused on it.

They've identified who each of these kids are, what is it that should be done to help them,

Et cetera.

And now they're in the I think they're in the second quartile or something.

They're sort of really they've really raised their performance.

Everywhere I'm going, I'm saying get behind this issue.
