Today is recognised globally as Universal Children’s Day. This year is a special celebration marking 25 years of the ratification of the UNCRC.


Our Vision for Children is clear – we want a Wales where children’s rights are a reality for each and every child. This is why we place such an emphasis on the UNCRC. Children must be safe, have access to good education, good homes, spaces to play, be respected, have a voice and not be disadvantaged because of poverty or where they live.


We have encapsulated the UNCRC in law, with the full implementation of the Rights of Children and Young Persons (Wales) Measure in May 2014\. Assembly Members approved our Children’s Rights Scheme in April 2014 and we now have processes and systems in place which helps us have due regard to children’s rights. They apply to all Ministers and Officials and therefore, impact on legislation, policies and guidance. This, in turn, influences services on the ground and outcomes for children, young people and their families.


The First Minister has stated this Government’s focus on outcomes for the people of Wales. We have moved to a model which puts outcomes for children and young people at the heart of all Ministerial decisions. 


Today, Ministers across the Cabinet will be celebrating Universal Children’s Day by visiting children and young people’s settings and seeing first\-hand the positive difference we are making as a Government. 


The Minister for Finance and Government Business will be visiting Plas Pawb; an integrated Children’s Centre, established to offer play, educational, care, health and family support services in order to provide the best possible start in life for the children of Cadnant and Peblig wards in Caernarfon.  For families who are supported through the Flying Start programme in this area, free child care for 2\-3 years olds, parenting groups and health consultation areas are all available to them under one roof. 


Flying Start’s aim is to give children a better start in life and, in the longer term, this should see young people being less disadvantaged because of the communities in which they grow up.  In the short term the programme is not only helping to provide parents with the skills they need to support their child’s development, but also giving them the opportunity to access training and support to improve their employment prospects and so take them out of poverty. 


Over the 4 year period 2012\-16 a total of £282\.9 million has been made available through the Flying Start Programme. This has enabled the number of children benefitting to double from 18,000 to 36,000, through increased support for families, health visiting and nursery places by the end of this Assembly term in 2016\. 


The Minister for Education, Huw Lewis, is visiting three schools in North Wales to see how they are raising standards. The changes we are proposing to qualifications in Wales will deliver a high quality and well respected national qualifications system for Wales. Central to the improved system is a renewed focus on literacy, numeracy and greater rigour and making the qualifications which young people work towards more appropriate to the modern age.


The Deputy Minister for Health is visiting the children's cancer unit in University Hospital Wales in Cardiff, where young cancer patients in South Wales have access to specialist treatment and facilities, including family accommodation, a teenage lounge with internet café, younger children’s playrooms and a parent lounge.


 


I am meeting with Local Authority Education Cabinet leads to discuss making high quality and affordable childcare available to all. One of the biggest challenges faced by parents is the childcare affordability trap, particularly by the parents of disabled children.  Access to childcare can be vital to enable parents to participate in work or education and thus avoid social exclusion. This is critical to the tackling poverty agenda. In addition, we have published a new Child Poverty Strategy for Wales and like the Action Plan, this will include a strong focus on supporting parents into work. The draft Revised Child Poverty Strategy has been published for a 12\-week consultation period.  


I met with the Presiding Officer yesterday to discuss how our respective youth participation and engagement work can continue to complement one another. I was pleased to hear about the tremendous work Assembly committees are doing to include young people’s voices in their work and welcome the Presiding Officer’s consultation on voting at 16 which she launches today. I am confident together with the national participation model being developed by Children in Wales and in partnership with the innovative and inspiring participation work being taken forward by Local Authorities, we will be reaching and enabling the voices of thousands of children and young people to be heard.


Tomorrow, I will be visiting St. Christopher’s School in Wrexham where they have achieved level 2 of the UNICEF Rights Respecting Schools Award. This is one of a number of school’s in Wales which has put the UNCRC at the heart of the school’s culture by putting the rights into practice every day.


Making these visits and seeing children’s rights become a reality for these children and young people, with real outcomes, is what continues to drive this Government. I hope you will join us in celebrating this day and in celebrating our children and young people.

Heddiw mae'n Ddiwrnod Byd\-eang y Plant. Mae dathliad arbennig eleni i nodi 25 mlwyddiant cadarnhau Confensiwn y Cenhedloedd Unedig ar Hawliau'r Plentyn.  
Mae gennym weledigaeth glir ar gyfer plant \- rydym am i Gymru fod yn wlad lle mae hawliau plant yn cael eu gwireddu i bob plentyn. Dyna pam rydym yn rhoi cymaint o bwyslais ar yr CCUHP. Rhaid i blant gael y canlynol: diogelwch, mynediad at addysg dda, cartrefi da, gofod i chwarae, parch, llais a pheidio â bod dan anfantais yn sgil tlodi neu'r ardal lle maent yn byw.

Rydym wedi cynnwys yr CCUHP mewn cyfraith drwy roi Mesur Hawliau Plant a Phobl Ifanc (Cymru) ar waith yn llawn ym mis Mai 2014\. Cafodd ein Cynllun Hawliau Plant ei gymeradwyo gan Aelodau'r Cynulliad ym mis Ebrill 2014, ac mae gennym bellach brosesau a systemau yn eu lle sy'n ein helpu i roi sylw priodol i hawliau plant. Maent yn berthnasol i bob Gweinidog a Swyddog, ac felly'n effeithio ar ddeddfwriaeth, polisïau a chanllawiau. Mae hyn yn ei dro yn effeithio ar wasanaethau ar lawr gwlad a'r canlyniadau ar gyfer plant, pobl ifanc a'u teuluoedd.

Mae'r Prif Weinidog wedi datgan bod y Llywodraeth hon yn canolbwyntio ar ganlyniadau ar gyfer pobl Cymru. Rydym wedi symud tuag at ffordd o weithio sy'n gosod plant a phobl ifanc wrth galon pob penderfyniad Gweinidogol. 

Heddiw, bydd Gweinidogion y Cabinet yn dathlu Diwrnod Byd\-eang y Plant drwy ymweld â gwahanol leoliadau plant a phobl ifanc, er mwyn gweld â'u llygaid eu hunain y gwahaniaeth cadarnhaol rydym yn ei wneud fel Llywodraeth. 

Bydd y Gweinidog Cyllid a Busnes y Llywodraeth yn ymweld â Phlas Pawb; canolfan blant integredig a sefydlwyd i gynnig gwasanaethau chwarae, addysg, gofal, iechyd a chymorth i deuluoedd, gyda'r nod o ddarparu'r dechrau gorau posibl mewn bywyd i blant wardiau Cadnant a Pheblig yng Nghaernarfon.  Ar gyfer teuluoedd sydd yn cael cymorth drwy raglen Dechrau'n Deg yn yr ardal, mae nifer o wasanaethau ar gael dan un to, gan gynnwys gofal plant rhad ac am ddim i blant 2\-3 oed, grwpiau rhianta a chyngor ar iechyd. 

Nod Dechrau'n Deg yw rhoi gwell dechrau mewn bywyd i blant. Yn y tymor hir, dylai hyn arwain at lai o anfanteision i bobl ifanc ar sail y cymunedau lle maent yn cael eu magu.  Yn y tymor byr, mae'r rhaglen yn cynorthwyo rhieni i gael sgiliau angenrheidiol i helpu gyda datblygiad eu plant, ac ar ben hynny mae'n rhoi cyfle iddynt gyrraedd at hyfforddiant a chymorth i wella'u cyfleoedd am swyddi, a thrwy hynny eu codi allan o dlodi.   
Dros y cyfnod o 4 blynedd rhwng 2012\-16, darparwyd cyfanswm o £282\.9 miliwn drwy'r Rhaglen Dechrau'n Deg. O ganlyniad mae nifer y plant sy'n elwa wedi dyblu o 18,000 i 36,000, drwy fwy o gymorth i deuluoedd, ymweliadau iechyd a llefydd mewn meithrinfeydd erbyn diwedd tymor y Cynulliad hwn yn 2016\. 

Mae'r Gweinidog Addysg, Huw Lewis yn ymweld â thair ysgol yn y gogledd i weld sut maent yn codi safonau. Bydd y newidiadau rydym yn eu cynnig i gymwysterau yn darparu system uchel ei hansawdd ac uchel ei pharch o gymwysterau cenedlaethol. Elfen ganolog o'r system well yw canolbwyntio o'r newydd ar lythrennedd, rhifedd a mwy o gywirdeb, a sicrhau bod y cymwysterau y mae'r bobl ifanc yn gweithio tuag atynt yn fwy priodol i'r oes fodern.

Mae'r Dirprwy Weinidog Iechyd yn ymweld ag uned ganser y plant yn Ysbyty Athrofaol Cymru, Caerdydd. Yno mae cleifion canser ifanc yn cael mynediad at driniaeth arbenigol a chyfleusterau sy’n cynnwys llety i'w teuluoedd, lolfa â mynediad i'r rhyngrwyd i bobl ifanc yn eu harddegau, ystafelloedd chwarae i blant iau a lolfa i rieni.

Fe fyddaf i'n cyfarfod arweinwyr Cabinet Addysg Awdurdodau Lleol i drafod ffyrdd o ddarparu gofal plant fforddiadwy, o ansawdd uchel i bawb. Un o'r prif sialensiau sy'n wynebu rhieni, yn arbennig rhieni plant anabl, yw talu am ofal plant.  Mae gofal plant yn hanfodol er mwyn galluogi rhieni i weithio neu gael addysg, ac o ganlyniad osgoi cael eu hallgáu'n gymdeithasol. Mae hyn yn hollbwysig i'r agenda trechu tlodi. Hefyd rydym wedi cyhoeddi Strategaeth Tlodi Plant newydd i Gymru. Bydd hyn, fel y Cynllun Gweithredu, yn canolbwyntio ar helpu rhieni i weithio. Cyhoeddwyd drafft o'r Strategaeth Tlodi Plant Ddiwygiedig ar gyfer cyfnod ymgynghori 12 wythnos.  

Cefais gyfarfod â’r Llywydd ddoe i drafod ffyrdd o gydweithio i ennyn diddordeb pobl ifanc a’u hannog i gymryd rhan. Roeddwn yn falch o glywed am waith ardderchog pwyllgorau’r Cynulliad i gynnwys lleisiau pobl ifanc yn eu gwaith, ac rwy’n croesawu ymgynghoriad y Llywydd ynghylch gostwng yr oedran pleidleisio i 16, sy’n cael ei lansio heddiw. Gyda’r dull gweithredu ar gyfranogiad cenedlaethol sy’n cael ei ddatblygu gan Plant yng Nghymru, ac mewn partneriaeth â’r gwaith blaengar ac ysbrydoledig ar gyfranogiad sy’n cael ei wneud gan Awdurdodau Lleol, rwy’n hyderus y byddwn yn cyrraedd at filoedd o blant a phobl ifanc, ac yn sicrhau bod eu lleisiau’n cael eu clywed. 

Yfory, byddaf yn ymweld ag Ysgol Sant Christopher yn Wrecsam, sydd wedi llwyddo i gyrraedd lefel 2 Gwobr Ysgolion sy'n Parchu Hawliau UNICEF. Dyma un o nifer o ysgolion yng Nghymru sydd wedi gosod CCUHP wrth galon diwylliant yr ysgol drwy roi'r hawliau ar waith bob dydd.

Mae'r ymweliadau hyn a’r cyfle i weld hawliau plant a phobl ifanc yn cael eu gwireddu yn parhau i ysbrydoli'r Llywodraeth. Gobeithio y byddwch yn ymuno â ni i ddathlu'r diwrnod ac ymfalchïo yn ein plant a phobl ifanc.
