The 2010 Children and Families (Wales) Measure 2010 placed a duty on Welsh Ministers to develop a Child Poverty Strategy for Wales. Welsh Ministers fulfilled this duty by publishing the 2011 Child Poverty Strategy, which covered the period 2011\-2014\. Today, I am publishing a revised Child Poverty Strategy for Wales.


The 2015 Child Poverty Strategy reaffirms our ambition to eradicate child poverty by 2020 and our commitment to deliver the three strategic objectives of the 2011 Child Poverty Strategy. These focus on reducing the number of children living in workless households, increasing the skills of parents and young people to enable them to secure well paid employment and reducing the inequalities which exist in the education, health and economic outcomes of children and families living in poverty. In addition, we have included two new strategic objectives.  


These are


 


* to use all available levers to create a strong economy and labour market which supports the tackling poverty agenda and reduces in\-work poverty in Wales.
* to support families living in poverty to increase household income  through debt and financial advice, action to address the “poverty premium” (where households pay disproportionally more for goods and services) and action to mitigate the impacts of welfare reform.


 


We know there are considerable challenges ahead if we are to deliver on our ambition to eradicate child poverty, particularly as UK Government welfare reforms continue to be rolled out. Our own analysis shows these are having a disproportionate impact on families with children and we must continue to all we can to mitigate these impacts, wherever possible. In order to address these challenges, the Strategy sets out the short, medium and longer term vision for what needs to be achieved in relation to each of our strategic objectives.


It is important to recognise the Child Poverty Strategy does not sit in isolation. Reflecting the cross\-cutting nature of the tackling poverty agenda, it is directly related to the Welsh Government’s Tackling Poverty Action Plan and other strategies and legislation which seek to improve outcomes for people from low income households. Our Tackling Poverty Action Plan remains the key mechanism by which we will deliver the aims of our Child Poverty Strategy. Our 2015 Annual Report on the Action Plan will include new actions and commitments which will enable the delivery of priorities identified as being most important for tackling child poverty.


Tackling poverty remains a high priority for me and the Government as a whole. All Welsh Ministers recognise they have a role to play in tackling poverty through a cross\-Government approach. We are committed to doing all we can and we are working to identify more clearly the contribution which all parts of the Welsh Government can make to tackling poverty, meeting the objectives of this strategy and our Tackling Poverty Action Plan. Within the 2015 Strategy, we commit to undertaking further analysis, which will inform the development of interim outcomes and milestones which will drive further progress towards tackling child poverty in Wales.


Recognising we cannot tackle poverty on our own, collaboration and a focus on delivering common outcomes remains a top priority for the Welsh Government. Joint working with partners from across the Public, Private and Third Sector will continue to underpin our approach.


The 2015 Child Poverty Strategy for Wales is available on the Child Poverty pages of the Welsh Government website.

Rhoddodd Mesur Plant a Theuluoedd (Cymru) 2010 ddyletswydd ar Weinidogion Cymru i ddatblygu Strategaeth Tlodi Plant ar gyfer Cymru. Cyflawnodd Gweinidogion Cymru y ddyletswydd hon pan gyhoeddon nhw Strategaeth Tlodi Plant 2011, a oedd yn ymdrin â’r cyfnod rhwng 2011 a 2014\.  Heddiw, rwy’n cyhoeddi Strategaeth Tlodi Plant newydd ar gyfer Cymru.

Mae Strategaeth Tlodi Plant 2015 yn ailddatgan ein huchelgais i ddileu tlodi plant erbyn 2020 a’n hymrwymiad i gyflawni tri amcan strategol Strategaeth Tlodi Plant 2011\.  Mae’r rhain yn canolbwyntio ar leihau nifer y plant sy’n byw mewn aelwydydd heb waith, cynyddu sgiliau rhieni a phobl ifanc er mwyn iddyn nhw allu sicrhau swyddi sy’n talu’n dda a lleihau’r anghydraddoldebau o ran canlyniadau iechyd, addysgol ac economaidd plant a theuluoedd sy’n byw mewn tlodi.  Yn ogystal, rydym wedi ychwanegu dau amcan strategol newydd.

Yr amcanion hyn yw

* defnyddio’r holl ysgogiadau sydd ar gael i greu economi a marchnad lafur gref sy’n cefnogi’r agenda trechu tlodi ac yn lleihau tlodi mewn gwaith yng Nghymru
* helpu teuluoedd sy’n byw mewn tlodi i gynyddu incwm eu haelwydydd trwy gyngor ynghylch dyledion a chyngor ariannol, camau gweithredu i fynd i’r afael â’r “premiwm tlodi” (lle mae aelwydydd yn talu mwy am nwyddau a gwasanaethau) a chamau gweithredu i liniaru effeithiau’r diwygiadau lles.

Rydym yn gwybod bod heriau sylweddol yn ein hwynebu os ydym am wireddu’n huchelgais i ddileu tlodi plant, yn enwedig wrth i Lywodraeth y DU barhau â’i rhaglen o ddiwygiadau lles.  Mae ein hastudiaethau ni’n dangos eu bod yn cael effaith anghymesur ar deuluoedd â phlant a rhaid inni barhau i wneud popeth yn ein gallu i liniaru’r effeithiau hyn lle medrwn.  I fynd i’r afael â’r heriau hyn, mae’r Strategaeth yn pennu gweledigaeth tymor byr, canolig a hir o ran yr hyn sydd angen ei wneud i gyflawni pob un o’n hamcanion strategol.  

Mae’n bwysig sylweddoli na ddylem ystyried y Strategaeth Tlodi Plant ar ei phen ei hun.  Gan adlewyrchu natur drawsffiniol yr agenda trechu tlodi, mae cysylltiad uniongyrchol rhyngddi â Chynllun Gweithredu Llywodraeth Cymru ar Drechu Tlodi a strategaethau a deddfau eraill sy’n ceisio gwella’r canlyniadau i bobl sy’n byw mewn aelwydydd isel eu hincwm.  Ein Cynllun Gweithredu ar Drechu Tlodi yw ein prif fecanwaith o hyd ar gyfer cyrraedd nodau ein Strategaeth Tlodi Plant.  Bydd ein Hadroddiad Blynyddol 2015 ar y Cynllun Gweithredu yn cynnwys camau gweithredu ac ymrwymiadau newydd a fydd yn ein galluogi i gyflawni’r blaenoriaethau yr ydym wedi’u hadnabod fel y rhai pwysicaf ar gyfer trechu tlodi plant.

Mae trechu tlodi’n parhau’n flaenoriaeth fawr i mi ac i’r Llywodraeth hon.  Mae holl Weinidogion Cymru’n cydnabod bod ganddynt ran i’w chwarae wrth drechu tlodi trwy ddull traws\-lywodraethol.  Rydym wedi ymrwymo i wneud popeth yn ein gallu ac rydym yn gweithio i nodi’n gliriach y gyfran y gall pob rhan o Lywodraeth Cymru ei gwneud at drechu tlodi, gan gyflawni amcanion y strategaeth hon a’n Cynllun Gweithredu ar Drechu Tlodi.  O fewn Strategaeth 2015, rydym yn ymrwymo i gynnal astudiaethau pellach, i’n helpu i ddatblygu canlyniadau a cherrig milltir interim a fydd yn sbarduno cynnydd pellach at drechu tlodi yng Nghymru.  

Gan gydnabod na allwn drechu tlodi ar ein pen ein hunain, mae cydweithio a chanolbwyntio ar gyflawni amcanion cyffredin yn parhau’n flaenoriaeth fawr i Lywodraeth Cymru.  Bydd cydweithio gyda phartneriaid o’r Sector Cyhoeddus, y Sector Preifat a’r Trydydd Sector yn parhau i danategu ein dull o weithio.

Mae Strategaeth Tlodi Plant 2015 Cymru ar gael ar dudalennau Trechu Tlodi gwefan Llywodraeth Cymru.
