Today, 22 May 2014, I am publishing a White Paper setting out the Welsh Government’s Legislative Proposals for Additional Learning Needs which aim to create a fairer system for children and young people with additional learning needs in Wales.


Reforming how children and young people with additional learning needs access support in either a school or Further Education setting is a Programme for Government commitment.


The White Paper ‘Legislative Proposals for Additional Learning Needs ‘ seeks views on proposals to introduce a new legislative framework for supporting children and young people with additional learning needs.  This will replace existing legislation for the assessment and provision of support for children and young people with special educational needs in schools and learning difficulties and/or disabilities in post\-16 education and training.  


The White Paper explains how our proposals will create:


* a unified legislative framework to support learners aged 0 to 25 with additional learning needs;
* an integrated, collaborative process of assessment, planning and monitoring which facilitates early, timely and effective interventions; and
* a fair and transparent system for providing information and advice, and for resolving concerns and appeals.


The reforms will provide a more equitable, person\-centred system which increases the rights of children and their families and ensures that they are involved throughout the process.  I am confident that the proposed changes to policy and primary legislation will deliver improvements in the support provided to children and young people in Wales with additional learning needs to reach their full learning potential.


The White Paper builds on our preliminary proposals for reform set out in the 2012 consultation document, ‘Forward in partnership for children and young people with additional needs,’ which can be accessed from our website.


Officials have engaged extensively with stakeholders in preparing this White Paper and I have asked them to continue to do so as they develop the proposals further.


The consultation will run for nine weeks and will close on 25 July 2014\.

Heddiw, 22 Mai 2014, rwy'n cyhoeddi Papur Gwyn yn nodi Cynigion Deddfwriaethol Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer Anghenion Dysgu Ychwanegol. Y nod yw creu system decach ar gyfer plant a phobl ifanc yng Nghymru sydd ag anghenion dysgu ychwanegol. 

 Mae diwygio'r modd y gall plant a phobl ifanc sydd ag anghenion dysgu ychwanegol dderbyn cefnogaeth un ai mewn ysgol neu sefydliad Addysg Bellach yn un o ymrwymiadau'r Rhaglen Lywodraethu. 

 Mae'r Papur Gwyn –‘Cynigion Deddfwriaethol ar gyfer Anghenion Dysgu Ychwanegol’\- yn gwahodd sylwadau ar gynigion i gyflwyno fframwaith deddfwriaethol newydd er mwyn cefnogi plant a phobl ifanc sydd ag anghenion dysgu ychwanegol.  Bydd hyn yn disodli'r ddeddfwriaeth bresennol ynghylch asesu a chefnogi plant a phobl ifanc mewn ysgolion sydd anghenion addysgol arbennig a phobl ifanc mewn addysg a hyfforddiant ôl\-16 sydd ag anawsterau a/neu anableddau dysgu. 

 Mae'r Papur Gwyn yn egluro sut y bydd ein cynigion yn creu:

 * fframwaith deddfwriaethol unedig ar gyfer cefnogi dysgwyr rhwng 0 a 25 oed sydd ag anghenion dysgu ychwanegol;
* proses integredig a chydweithredol o asesu, cynllunio a monitro sy'n hwyluso ymyriadau cynnar, amserol ac effeithiol;
* system deg a thryloyw ar gyfer darparu gwybodaeth a chyngor ac ar gyfer datrys pryderon ac apeliadau.

 Bydd y diwygiadau'n creu system sy'n lawer mwy teg ac sy'n canolbwyntio mwy ar yr unigolyn. Bydd hefyd yn rhoi rhagor o hawliau i blant a'u teuluoedd ac yn sicrhau eu bod yn cael eu cynnwys gydol y broses. Rwy'n hyderus y bydd y newidiadau a gynigir i bolisi a deddfwriaeth sylfaenol yn gwella'r gefnogaeth a gynigir i blant a phobl ifanc yng Nghymru sydd ag anghenion dysgu ychwanegol fel y gallant gyflawni hyd eithaf eu gallu. 

 Mae'r Papur Gwyn yn adeiladu ar ein cynigion cychwynnol ar gyfer diwygio a nodir yn nogfen ymgynghori 2012 sef, “Ymlaen mewn partneriaeth dros blant a phobl ifanc ag anghenion ychwanegol”. Gallwch weld y ddogfen hon ar ein gwefan.

 Mae swyddogion wedi cynnwys rhanddeiliaid gydol y broses o baratoi'r Papur Gwyn ac rwyf wedi gofyn iddynt barhau mewn cysylltiad â hwy wrth i'r cynigion gael eu datblygu ymhellach. 

 Bydd yr ymgynghoriad yn parhau am naw wythnos a bydd yn dod i ben ar 25 Gorffennaf 2014\.
