Uchelgais Llywodraeth Cymru yw i blant o bob cefndir gael y cychwyn gorau i’w bywydau a gwireddu eu potensial yn llwyr.


Er mwyn llwyddo i gyrraedd yr uchelgais hwn rydym yn buddsoddi ym maes datblygiad Lleferydd, Iaith a Chyfathrebu oherwydd mae’n rhagfynegydd pwysig o’r cynnydd a wneir mewn llythrennedd yn ddiweddarach. Mae tystiolaeth yn dangos y gall sgiliau gwan o ran Lleferydd, Iaith a Chyfathrebu gael effaith niweidiol ar amrywiaeth eang o ddeilliannau i blant fel ymddygiad, iechyd meddwl, ‘parodrwydd ar gyfer yr ysgol’, a chyflogadwyedd.


Mae’n bosibl i unrhyw blentyn, ni  waeth lle y maen nhw’n byw na beth yw eu sefyllfa deuluol, fod angen cymorth ychwanegol i fynd i’r afael ag oedi neu anawsterau ynghylch Lleferydd, Iaith a Chyfathrebu. Ein nod yw sicrhau bod gan blant ledled Cymru fynediad, os oes ei angen, at gymorth arbenigol o ansawdd yn y blynyddoedd cynnar i ddatblygu eu sgiliau Lleferydd, Iaith a Chyfathrebu, a bod y cymorth hwnnw’n benodol i’r broblem ac ar gael i bawb ym mhobman.


Mae’r ddogfen rydw i’n ei chyhoeddi heddiw er mwyn ymgynghori arni, *Siarad gyda fi: Cynllun Cyflawni ar gyfer Lleferydd, Iaith a Chyfathrebu 2020\-21*, yn ceisio gwella’r ffordd y mae plant yng Nghymru’n cael eu cynorthwyo i ddatblygu eu sgiliau Lleferydd, Iaith a Chyfathrebu.


Fe’i datblygwyd ar y cyd â Choleg Brenhinol y Therapyddion Lleferydd ac Iaith a Rhwydwaith Rhagoriaeth Glinigol Lleferydd, Iaith a Chyfathrebu Dechrau’n Deg a’n cynorthwyodd i nodi’r camau y mae angen i ni eu cymryd dros y blynyddoedd i ddod.


Bydd y cynllun cyflawni trawslywodraethol hwn, sy’n cynnwys Addysg, Iechyd a ‘Polisi Cymdeithasol’ yn arwain ar ddull mwy cydgysylltiedig o ymgysylltu â theuluoedd, ac mae’n adeiladu ar bolisïau presennol a’r hyn sy’n gweithio. 


Bydd y broses ymgynghori yn para 12 wythnos, gan ddod i ben ar 23 Ebrill 2020\. Rydw i’n annog pawb, o weithwyr proffesiynol ym maes Lleferydd, Iaith a Chyfathrebu i rieni a gofalwyr, i ymateb ac i’n helpu ni i saernïo cynllun a fydd yn codi proffil Lleferydd, Iaith a Chyfathrebu ac yn helpu i wneud gwahaniaeth gwirioneddol i ddyfodol ein plant.

The Welsh Government’s ambition is for children from all backgrounds to have the best start in life and to reach their full potential.


To achieve this aim we are investing in Speech, Language and Communication (SLC) development because it is an important predictor of later progress in literacy. Evidence shows that poor SLC skills can have an adverse impact on a wide range of children’s outcomes including behaviour, mental health, ‘school readiness’ and employability.


Any child, irrespective of where they live or their family circumstances, might require additional support to address delays or difficulties with SLC. Our aim is to ensure that children throughout Wales have access to high quality, universal, targeted and specialist support in the early years – if required – to develop their SLC skills.


The *Talk With Me: Speech, Language and Communication (SLC) Delivery Plan 2020\-21* which I am publishing for consultation today, seeks to drive improvement in the way in which children in Wales are supported to develop their SLC skills.


It has been developed in consultation with the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT) and the Flying Start SLC Clinical Excellence Network which has helped us identify the actions we need to take over the coming years.


This cross Government delivery plan which includes Education, Health and ‘Social Policy’, will lead to a more joined\-up approach to engaging with families, and builds upon existing policies and what works.


The consultation will run for 12 weeks, concluding on 23 April 2020\. I would encourage everyone, from professionals working in the field of SLC to parents and carers, to respond and help us shape a plan that will raise the profile of SLC and really help to make a difference for our children’s future.
