Deputy Minister and Chief Whip Jane Hutt today (Thursday 17October) announced £350,000 for the Hate Crime in Schools project which will be delivered through the Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA).


Hate crime reporting has increased year\-on\-year since the Welsh Government published its Tackling Hate Crimes and Incidents Framework in 2014\. The Hate Crime in Schools project is being funded from the Welsh Government’s European Transition Fund and is part of a package of additional support being provided over the coming 18 months to help to prevent hate crimes and incidents, and mitigate their effects on victims and communities in Wales.


The WLGA will work with partners with the expertise to visit schools across the country to encourage critical thinking skills and challenge myths which children may have heard. This will be achieved in approximately 100 schools during the 2019/2020 academic year.


Jane Hutt said, 



> Together we’re working to build a strong and diverse society here in Wales, where people of any race or faith are valued for their character and their actions. We all want to help create a peaceful and harmonious country where our children and future generations can thrive.
> 
> 
> We hope this project can support our children and young people to develop critical thinking skills which will enable them to question hateful narratives wherever they encounter them. The project will also aim to equip school staff with the skills to challenge hate crime and support victims when it occurs in school.


Councillor Debbie Wilcox, WLGA Education spokesperson said:



> This funding announcement is welcome and will provide valuable support to schools and, crucially, to students to provide guidance and support, and to challenge and prevent incidents of hate crime occurring within our schools. The WLGA will work with local authorities in developing this programme and will align with the good work already established through authorities and in schools to ensure a cohesive approach, seeking to target the communities and schools which are most in need of support.


Today’s funding is a positive step in the right direction, educating the young and changing mind\-sets from the very beginning. Of course this change won’t happen overnight, so we need to continue to offer help and support to those victims experiencing hate crime now. The National Hate Crime Report and Support Centre is at the forefront of the delivery of this support, funded by the Welsh Government to provide all Wales support and advice to victims of hate crime.


Today the Deputy Minister \& Chief Whip and the Counsel General \& Brexit Minister will meet with staff from the centre and representatives from organisations who represent those affected by hate crime to learn more about how Welsh Government EU Transition Funding is helping further the Centre’s provision and to talk about what more needs to be done to tackle these crimes. 


The Deputy Minister \& Chief Whip and the Counsel General \& Brexit Minister will both be available for interview at the centre.

Heddiw (dydd Iau 17 Hydref) cyhoeddodd y Dirprwy Weinidog a’r Prif Chwip Jane Hutt £350,000 ar gyfer prosiect Troseddau Casineb mewn Ysgolion a fydd yn cael ei gyflawni gan Gymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru (CLlLC).    


Mae cynnydd wedi bod yn nifer yr adroddiadau am droseddau casineb bob blwyddyn ers i Lywodraeth Cymru gyhoeddi ei Fframwaith Mynd i'r Afael â Throseddau a Digwyddiadau Casineb yn 2014\. Mae’r prosiect Troseddau Casineb mewn Ysgolion yn cael ei gyllido gan Gronfa Bontio Ewropeaidd Llywodraeth Cymru ac mae’n rhan o becyn o gefnogaeth ychwanegol sy’n cael ei ddarparu yn ystod y 18 mis nesaf er mwyn helpu gydag atal achosion o droseddau casineb yng Nghymru, a lleihau eu heffaith ar ddioddefwyr a chymunedau.           


Bydd CLlLC yn gweithio gyda phartneriaid arbenigol i ymweld ag ysgolion ar hyd a lled y wlad i annog meddwl yn feirniadol a herio mythau mae'r plant wedi’u clywed o bosib. Bydd hyn yn cael ei wneud mewn tua 100 o ysgolion yn ystod blwyddyn academaidd 2019/2020\.


Dywedodd Jane Hutt, 



> Gyda’n gilydd rydyn ni’n gweithio i greu cymdeithas gref ac amrywiol yma yng Nghymru, lle gwelir gwerth mewn pobl o bob hil neu ffydd am eu cymeriad a’u gweithredoedd. Rydyn ni i gyd eisiau helpu i greu gwlad heddychlon a chytûn lle gall ein plant ni a chenedlaethau’r dyfodol ffynnu.  
> 
> 
> “Rydyn ni’n gobeithio y gall y prosiect yma gefnogi ein plant a’n pobl ifanc ni i ddatblygu sgiliau meddwl yn feirniadol a fydd yn eu galluogi i gwestiynu unrhyw naratif llawn casineb sy’n dod ar eu traws. Hefyd bydd y prosiect yn arfogi staff ysgolion â’r sgiliau i herio troseddau casineb a chefnogi dioddefwyr pan fydd yn digwydd mewn ysgolion.


Dywedodd y Cynghorydd Debbie Wilcox (Casnewydd), Llefarydd CLlLC ar Addysg: 



> Rydyn ni’n croesawu’r cyllid hwn yn fawr iawn. Bydd yn rhoi cefnogaeth werthfawr i ysgolion ac, yn bwysig iawn, i fyfyrwyr i roi arweiniad a chymorth, ac i herio ac atal achosion o droseddau casineb yn ein hysgolion. Bydd Cymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru yn gweithio gydag awdurdodau lleol i ddatblygu’r rhaglen hon, ac yn gwneud hynny wrth ochr y gwaith da sydd eisoes yn digwydd drwy awdurdodau ac ysgolion, gan geisio targedu’r cymunedau a’r ysgolion sydd fwyaf angen cefnogaeth.


Mae’r cyllid sy’n cael ei gyhoeddi heddiw yn gam cadarnhaol i’r cyfeiriad cywir, yn addysgu pobl ifanc ac yn newid ffyrdd o feddwl o’r cychwyn cyntaf. Wrth gwrs, ni fydd y newid hwn yn digwydd dros nos, felly bydd angen i ni barhau i gynnig cymorth a chefnogaeth i’r dioddefwyr hynny sy’n profi troseddau casineb nawr. Mae’r Ganolfan Genedlaethol Cymorth ac Adrodd ar Droseddau Casineb yn ddarparwr blaenllaw o’r cymorth hwn, wedi’i ariannu gan Lywodraeth Cymru i ddarparu cyngor a chymorth i bawb sy’n dioddef trosedd gasineb.


Heddiw bydd y Dirprwy Weinidog a’r Prif Chwip, a’r Cwnsler Cyffredinol a’r Gweinidog Brexit yn cyfarfod staff o’r ganolfan a chynrychiolwyr sefydliadau sy’n cynrychioli’r rhai sydd wedi cael eu heffeithio gan drosedd gasineb. Y nod yw gweld sut mae Cyllid Pontio’r UE Llywodraeth Cymru yn helpu i ddatblygu darpariaeth y Ganolfan, a thrafod beth arall sydd angen ei wneud i fynd i’r afael â’r troseddau hyn.


Bydd y Dirprwy Weinidog a’r Prif Chwip, a’r Cwnsler Cyffredinol a’r Gweinidog Brexit ar gael i’w cyfweld yn y ganolfan.
