Almost a quarter of pupils in Wales have some kind of SEN and the Minister today announced how he intends to take forward landmark legislation to protect and strengthen the rights of this significant group.

 The Additional Learning Needs and Education Tribunal (ALNET) Bill, announced as part of the first year of this Government’s legislative programme by the First Minister last week, will overhaul the legal framework, eliminating inconsistencies and shortfalls in the current system.

 It also aims to ensure that partner agencies work together to provide equality of opportunity for all children and young people to participate in and benefit from learning.

 The Minister said,

 
> “The current legislative framework for supporting children and young people with special education needs is based on a model introduced more than 30 years ago. This is clearly no longer fit for purpose.
> 
>  “With this Bill we hope to transform the expectations, experiences and outcomes for children and young people with ALN in Wales.
> 
>  “This transformation is already well underway, through a comprehensive programme of wider reforms, but the introduction of legislation is a major step in this journey.
> 
>  “We have consulted extensively on these proposals, including via a White Paper and last year’s draft Bill, and the responses to that have been published today. The feedback we have received has been strongly supportive of the principles and ambitions of our reforms and we will take the views expressed and use them to inform the development of this landmark legislation, as well as the wider ALN Transformation Programme.”

 The overarching aims of the Bill are to create:

 * a unified legislative framework to support children and young people aged 0\-25 with ALN in schools and further education
* an integrated, collaborative process of assessment, planning and monitoring, which facilitates early, timely and effective interventions
* a fair and transparent system for providing information and advice, and for resolving concerns and appeals

 The ALNET Bill is just one aspect of the overarching ALN Transformation Programme. At the heart of these reforms is a focus on inclusion; putting children and young people at the centre, and ensuring they are supported to reach their full potential.  

 The Minister said,

 
> “These reforms will deliver a complete overhaul of the system. Implementing the reforms will be a considerable undertaking, but one which has real potential to bring about significant improvements for all involved and which will, I am sure, have a real and positive impact on the lives of some of society’s most vulnerable people.”

Mae gan bron i chwarter y disgyblion yng Nghymru anghenion addysgol arbennig o ryw fath a bydd y Gweinidog heddiw yn cyhoeddi sut y bydd yn bwriadu bwrw ymlaen â deddfwriaeth o bwys i ddiogelu a chryfhau hawliau’r grŵp sylweddol hwn o ddisgyblion.  
  
Bydd y Bil Anghenion Dysgu Ychwanegol a’r Tribiwnlys Addysg (ADYTA) a gafodd ei gyhoeddi’n rhan o raglen ddeddfwriaethol blwyddyn gyntaf y Llywodraeth hon gan y Prif Weinidog yr wythnos diwethaf,  yn trawsnewid y fframwaith cyfreithiol ac yn cael gwared ar yr anghysondebau a’r diffygion sydd yn y system ar hyn o bryd.  
  
Bydd hefyd yn anelu at sicrhau y bydd asiantaethau sy’n bartneriaid yn gweithio gyda’i gilydd i sicrhau cyfle cyfartal i bob plentyn a pherson ifanc er mwyn gallu cymryd rhan mewn rhaglenni dysgu ac elwa arnynt.  
  
Dywedodd y Gweinidog, 

 
> "Mae’r fframwaith cyfreithiol presennol sy’n cynorthwyo plant a phobl ifanc ag anghenion addysgol arbennig yn seiliedig ar fodel a gyflwynwyd dros 30 o flynyddoedd yn ôl. Mae’n amlwg nad yw’n addas at y diben erbyn hyn.  
>   
> "Ein gobaith gyda’r bil hwn yw y bydd yn trawsnewid disgwyliadau, profiadau a deilliannau plant a phobl ifanc ag anghenion dysgu ychwanegol yng Nghymru.  
>   
> "Mae’r broses o drawsnewid ar droed eisoes drwy raglen gynhwysfawr o ddiwygiadau ehangach ond bydd cyflwyno deddfwriaeth yn y maes yn gam pwysig ymlaen ar hyd y daith.  
>   
> "Rydyn ni wedi ymgynghori’n eang ar y cynigion hyn, drwy gyfrwng Papur Gwyn a hefyd drwy gyflwyno Bil drafft y llynedd, ac mae’r ymatebion i’r ymgynghoriad hwnnw wedi’u cyhoeddi heddiw. Mae’r adborth a gawsom wedi cefnogi egwyddorion a dyheadau ein diwygiadau a byddwn yn ymgymryd â’r hyn a fynegwyd ac yn ei ddefnyddio’n sail i ddatblygu’r ddeddfwriaeth bwysig yma, yn ogystal â’r Rhaglen ehangach o drawsnewid ADY."

 Nodau cyffredinol y Bil yw creu:

 * fframwaith deddfwriaethol unedig i gefnogi plant a phobl ifanc 0\-25 oed sydd ag ADY mewn ysgolion a sefydliadau addysg bellach;
* proses integredig, gydweithredol o asesu, cynllunio a monitro sy’n hwyluso ymyriadau cynnar, amserol ac effeithiol a
* system deg a thryloyw o ddarparu gwybodaeth a chyngor ac o ddatrys pryderon ac apeliadau.

 Un agwedd yn unig ar Raglen Trawsnewid ADY yw’r Bil ADYTA. Yn gwbl greiddiol i’r diwygiadau hyn mae ffocws ar gynhwysiant; rhoi plant a phobl ifanc yn y canol a sicrhau eu bod yn cael y cymorth i gyrraedd eu potensial llawn.  
  
Dywedodd y Gweinidog, 

 
> "Bydd y diwygiadau hyn yn sicrhau gweddnewid y system yn llwyr. Bydd rhoi’r diwygiadau ar waith yn ymrwymiad sylweddol ond yn ymrwymiad sydd â gwir botensial o sicrhau gwelliannau sylweddol i bawb yr effeithir arnynt. Byddant hefyd, rwy’n sicr, yn cael effaith wirioneddol a phositif ar fywydau rhai o’r bobl fwyaf agored i niwed yn ein cymdeithas."
