Education, Children and Young People Committee [Draft]

University of Dundee

Meeting date: 25 June 2025

Joe FitzPatrick

Whose prediction was that? Where did that prediction of 25 per cent come from, given the different nature of Dundee university’s international students and the high-risk countries that were being recruited from? Who made that assessment?

The prediction was of a massively different scale from what actually happened, then.

We are speaking to the former principal tomorrow, so we will ask him about that. In your view, was that the reason for her departure being sought, or was it that he just did not like the challenge?

I want to go back to a response that Dr McGeorge gave to George Adam in relation to Wendy Alexander raising concerns. Am I right in saying that you said that she raised those in September 2024?

Amanda Millar, were you are aware of any of that going on? Was there any sense of misogyny in what was happening to Wendy Alexander at that time?

After?

Was there anybody shouting, “Watch out, you have got this wrong”?

Health, Social Care and Sport Committee [Draft]

Children’s and Young People’s Participation in Sport and Physical Activity

Meeting date: 24 June 2025

Joe FitzPatrick

Thanks.

I will come to Jillian Gibson last, for a really good reason. Ailsa, as you were involved in developing the framework, it would be good to hear your perspective.

Children’s and Young People’s Participation in Sport and Physical Activity

Meeting date: 24 June 2025

Joe FitzPatrick

That is great. Thank you.

Jillian Gibson, I wanted to come to you last because, although I think that the framework is a good document, local government will be key to making it happen in the real world. Therefore, it was good to hear about the special interest group. I know that there are some folk in local government who are—I will choose my words carefully—almost as passionate as Brian Whittle is in this area.

Children’s and Young People’s Participation in Sport and Physical Activity

Gregor Muir talked earlier about the “Physical Activity for Health” framework, and I am keen to explore that a bit. As it was published last October, it is still relatively new, and it would be good to hear how the three organisations before us are responding to it and how they are trying to ensure that it is not just some document on a shelf but something that is actually changing the way in which organisations work. Given that you mentioned it earlier, Gregor, do you want to go first?
