In September, I advised Members of a revised timetable for laying the Additional Learning Needs (ALN) code and operational regulations, which remain a key priority for this Government.  These will be laid before the Senedd in February 2021 to support the commencement and phased roll out of the ALNET Act from September 2021\.  I also confirmed that the statutory roles in the ALNET Act will commence as planned, in January 2021 and that to accompany this I intended to lay regulations on the ALN Co\-ordinator (ALNCo) role this year; and to publish guidance to support these statutory roles before their commencement.


This statement is to inform Members that on 29 October, I made an Order to commence various powers in the Act, including the power to make the ALNCo regulations, from 2 November.  The Order also commences the requirements for schools and further education institutions; health boards; and local authorities to designate, respectively, an ALNCo; Designated Education Clinical Lead Officer (DECLO) and the Early Years Additional Learning Needs Lead Officer (EYALNLO) on 4 January 2021\.  In addition I have today laid before the Senedd the ‘Draft: Additional Learning Needs Co\-ordinator (Wales) Regulations 2020’ (“the ALNCo regulations”).  These regulations prescribe the qualifications and functions of the ALNCo role.


This role is a fundamental part of the ALN system designed to ensure a greater consistency in the designation of ALNCos and the co\-ordination of additional learning provision.  To support the development of this role we have allocated funding to develop an ALN National Professional Learning Programme. This is a targeted programme of training and development where tailored and timely training, relevant to the individual will be available, to help build on their existing knowledge and skills.  It is intended to enable the ALNCo to fulfil their responsibilities effectively. 


The commencement of the requirements to designate each of the statutory roles and the laying of the ALNCo regulations marks a significant milestone in the progress of these crucial ALN reforms, for the benefit of all children and young people in Wales.


The Order also commences provision for establishing a list of Independent Special Post\-16 Institutions (ISPIs) as outlined in the ALNET Act, and I intend to lay regulations relating to this in due course.

Ym mis Medi, dywedais wrth yr Aelodau fod yr amserlen ar gyfer gosod y cod Anghenion Dysgu Ychwanegol (ADY) a’r rheoliadau gweithredu, sy’n parhau i fod yn un o brif flaenoriaethau’r llywodraeth hon, wedi’i diwygio. Caiff y rhain eu gosod gerbron y Senedd ym mis Chwefror 2021 i ategu cychwyn a chyflwyno’n raddol y Ddeddf Anghenion Dysgu Ychwanegol a’r Tribiwnlys Addysg o fis Medi 2021\. Cadarnheais hefyd y bydd rolau statudol y Ddeddf yn cychwyn, fel ag a gynlluniwyd, ym mis Ionawr 2021, ac i gyd\-fynd â hyn, fy mod yn bwriadu gosod rheoliadau ar rôl y Cydlynydd ADY eleni; a chyhoeddi canllawiau i ategu’r rolau statudol cyn eu cychwyn.


Diben y datganiad hwn yw rhoi gwybod i’r Aelodau fy mod, ar 29 Hydref, wedi gwneud Gorchymyn i gychwyn pwerau amrywiol sydd yn y Ddeddf, gan gynnwys y pŵer i wneud y rheoliadau Cydlynydd ADY, o 2 Tachwedd. Mae’r Gorchymyn hefyd yn cychwyn y gofynion i ysgolion a sefydliadau addysg bellach; byrddau iechyd; ac awdurdodau lleol ddynodi Cydlynydd ADY yn yr achos cyntaf; Swyddog Arweiniol Clinigol Dynodedig Addysg yn yr ail, a Swyddog Arweiniol Anghenion Dysgu Ychwanegol Blynyddoedd Cynnar yn yr achos olaf ar 4 Ionawr 2021\. Yn ogystal, rwyf wedi gosod gerbron y Senedd heddiw ‘Reoliadau Drafft Cydlynydd Anghenion Dysgu Ychwanegol (Cymru) 2020’ (“y rheoliadau Cydlynydd ADY”). Mae’r rheoliadau hyn yn rhagnodi cymwysterau a swyddogaethau rôl y cydlynydd ADY.


Mae’r rôl hon yn rhan sylfaenol o’r system ADY sydd wedi’i chynllunio i sicrhau mwy o gysondeb wrth ddynodi cydlynwyr ADY ac wrth gydlynu darpariaeth ddysgu ychwanegol. I gefnogi datblygiad y rôl hon, rydym wedi dyrannu cyllid i ddatblygu Rhaglen Dysgu Proffesiynol Genedlaethol ADY. Bydd hon yn rhaglen hyfforddi a datblygu amserol, wedi’i theilwra i’r unigolyn, er mwyn adeiladu ar yr wybodaeth a’r sgiliau sydd ganddo eisoes. Ei nod yw galluogi’r cydlynydd ADY i gyflawni ei gyfrifoldebau yn effeithiol. 


Mae cychwyn y gofynion i ddynodi pob un o’r rolau statudol a gosod y rheoliadau Cydlynydd ADY yn garreg filltir bwysig ar ein taith i wneud y diwygiadau hanfodol hyn i’r system ADY, er budd holl blant a phobl ifanc Cymru.


Mae’r Gorchymyn hefyd yn cychwyn darpariaeth ar gyfer sefydlu rhestr o Sefydliadau Ôl\-16 Arbennig Annibynnol fel yr amlinellir yn y Ddeddf Anghenion Dysgu Ychwanegol a’r Tribiwnlys Addysg, ac rwy’n bwriadu gosod rheoliadau ynghylch hyn maes o law.
