Deputy Minister for Housing and Local Government Hannah Blythyn has written to all devolved public services to highlight a joint statement by the Workforce Partnership Council which supports paid leave for members of public sector staff experiencing domestic abuse.


The joint statement recognises the profound impact domestic abuse can have and asks devolved public service organisations to make an explicit commitment in their special leave or domestic abuse policies to provide paid leave for staff experiencing domestic abuse.


The Welsh Government and Neath Port Talbot Council have already introduced paid leave for victims of domestic abuse. Trade unions have promoted this approach and produced practical guidance, including the GMB’s Work to Stop Domestic Abuse Workplace Policy and UNISON’s Domestic violence and abuse: a trade union issue – A UNISON guide.


Deputy Minister for Housing and Local Government Hannah Blythyn, who chairs the Workforce Partnership Council said:



> Many organisations already offer paid leave to staff experiencing domestic abuse but we want to encourage all public service organisations in Wales to commit to incorporating this in their policies.
> 
> 
> With your help, we can reassure members of staff in public services that whatever other issues they are dealing with, fear of loss of pay and the financial challenges this brings will not be one of them.


Deputy Minister and Chief Whip Jane Hutt, who is responsible for domestic abuse policy in the Welsh Government, has also written to local authorities encouraging them to follow Neath Port Talbot Council’s lead.


She said:



> Survivors of domestic abuse can be faced with a range of practical concerns from the need for medical, legal or financial advice, to arranging child care or alternative accommodation.
> 
> 
> Paid leave is an essential part of supporting affected staff and offering reassurance they will not lose out while they navigate these difficult circumstances.


The Workforce Partnership Council’s (WPC) joint statement on paid leave for staff experiencing domestic violence states:


* “The WPC believes that such policies provide survivors with peace of mind, support and gives them vital reassurance that they will not be financially penalised as they deal with the effects of domestic abuse.
* “The WPC recommends devolved public service organisations in Wales commit to workplace policies that offer a flexible and sympathetic approach to staff experiencing domestic abuse.”

Mae'r Dirprwy Weinidog Tai a Llywodraeth Leol, Hannah Blythyn, wedi ysgrifennu at bob gwasanaeth cyhoeddus datganoledig i dynnu sylw at ddatganiad a gyhoeddwyd ar y cyd gan Gyngor Partneriaeth y Gweithlu, sy'n cefnogi rhoi cyfnod absenoldeb â chyflog i staff, ar draws y gwasanaethau cyhoeddus datganoledig, sy'n dioddef cam\-drin domestig.


Mae'r datganiad yn cydnabod yr effaith ddwys y mae cam\-drin domestig yn gallu ei chael, ac mae'n gofyn i gyrff gwasanaethau cyhoeddus datganoledig wneud ymrwymiad penodol yn eu polisïau absenoldeb arbennig neu gam\-drin domestig i ddarparu cyfnod absenoldeb â chyflog i staff sy'n dioddef cam\-drin domestig. 


Mae Llywodraeth Cymru a Chyngor Castell\-nedd Port Talbot ymhlith y cyrff cyhoeddus yng Nghymru sydd eisoes wedi cyflwyno cyfnod absenoldeb â chyflog i ddioddefwyr cam\-drin domestig, ac mae undebau llafur wedi hyrwyddo'r dull gweithredu hwn ac wedi llunio canllawiau ymarferol fel polisi gweithle y GMB i weithio i atal cam\-drin domestig a chanllaw Unsain ar drais a cham\-drin domestig.


Dywedodd y Dirprwy Weinidog Tai a Llywodraeth Leol, Hannah Blythyn, sy'n cadeirio Cyngor Partneriaeth y Gweithlu:



> Mae llawer o gyrff eisoes yn cynnig cyfnod absenoldeb â chyflog i staff sy'n dioddef cam\-drin domestig, ond rydyn ni am annog pob un o gyrff ein gwasanaethau cyhoeddus yng Nghymru i ymrwymo'n benodol i ymgorffori'r ddarpariaeth hon o fewn eu polisïau perthnasol. 
> 
> 
> Gyda'ch help chi, fe allwn ni roi sicrwydd i staff sy'n gweithio o fewn y gwasanaethau cyhoeddus datganoledig, beth bynnag yw'r problemau eraill maent yn delio â nhw, na fydd ofn colli cyflog a'r heriau ariannol cysylltiedig yn un ohonynt.


Mae'r Dirprwy Weinidog a’r Prif Chwip, Jane Hutt, sy'n gyfrifol am bolisi cam\-drin domestig o fewn Llywodraeth Cymru, hefyd wedi ysgrifennu at awdurdodau lleol Cymru yn eu hannog i ddilyn arweiniad Castell\-nedd Port Talbot. 


Ychwanegodd:



> Mae pob math o bryderon ymarferol yn gallu dod i ffordd y rheini sy'n goroesi cam\-drin domestig, o'r angen am gyngor meddygol, cyfreithiol neu ariannol, i drefnu gofal plant neu rywle arall i fyw.
> 
> 
> Mae darparu cyfnod absenoldeb â chyflog yn rhan hanfodol o gefnogi'r aelodau staff hyn, gan roi tawelwch meddwl iddyn nhw na fyddant yn colli eu cyflog tra'u bod yn rhoi trefn ar eu hamgylchiadau anodd.


Mae datganiad ar y cyd Cyngor Partneriaeth y gweithlu ar absenoldeb â thâl ar gyfer staff sy'n dioddef trais domestig yn datgan:


* "Mae Cyngor Partneriaeth y gweithlu yn credu bod polisïau o'r fath yn rhoi tawelwch meddwl i oroeswyr, ac yn rhoi sicrwydd hanfodol iddynt na fyddant yn cael eu cosbi'n ariannol wrth iddynt ddelio ag effeithiau cam\-drin domestig.
* "Mae'r CPG yn argymell sefydliadau gwasanaeth cyhoeddus datganoledig yng Nghymru sy'n ymrwymo i bolisïau yn y gweithle sy'n cynnig agwedd hyblyg a chydymdeimladol tuag at staff sy'n dioddef cam\-drin domestig."
