Heddiw, cyhoeddodd Llywodraeth Cymru ganllawiau gyda golwg ar leihau nifer y plant sydd yn cael eu cadw yng ngwarchodaeth yr heddlu dros nos.    
  
Cynhyrchwyd y canllawiau fel rhan o brosiect a sefydlwyd gan Lywodraeth Cymru yn 2015 yn sgil pryderon am y nifer o blant  a oedd yn cael eu cadw yn amhriodol yng nghelloedd yr heddlu dros nos tra bônt yn disgwyl i ymddangos yn y llys drannoeth.  Roedd yn canolbwyntio’n bennaf ar blant a oedd wedi’u cyhuddo o drosedd ond heb gael mechnïaeth, ac y dylasent gael eu trosglwyddo i uned ddiogel neu lety awdurdod lleol o dan Ddeddf yr Heddlu a Thystiolaeth Droseddol 1984 a Deddf Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol a Llesiant (Cymru) 2014\.    
  
Roedd y prosiect yn golygu cydweithio llawer a chydweithredu â phob asiantaeth berthnasol, yn cynnwys y pedwar llu heddlu Cymreig, Bwrdd Cyfiawnder Ieuenctid Cymru, gwasanaethau cymdeithasol awdurdodau lleol, timau dyletswydd brys a Thimau Troseddau Ieuenctid.  Mae wedi cryfhau’r berthynas weithio rhwng staff rheng flaen yr heddlu a’r awdurdodau lleol, wedi cychwyn hyfforddiant ar y cyd ar lefel leol ac wedi gwella’r ffordd o gasglu data a rhannu gwybodaeth rhwng asiantaethau.  
  
Mae ‘Canllawiau Cymru ar reoli a throsglwyddo plant a phobl ifanc sydd yng ngofal yr Heddlu a’r Awdurdodau Lleol o dan Ddeddf yr Heddlu a Thystiolaeth Droseddol 1984’  yn nodi rolau a chyfrifoldebau’r heddlu a’r awdurdodau lleol o dan y ddeddfwriaeth, ac mae’n cynnwys protocol model i’w ddefnyddio gan asiantaethau i sicrhau’r arfer gorau ledled Cymru.       
  
Rwy’n gwerthfawrogi cefnogaeth a chyfraniad yr holl sefydliadau a fu’n ymwneud â’r gwaith ac rwy’n gobeithio y bydd y canllawiau hyn yn help i bobl ifanc gael mynediad at gymorth amserol a phwrpasol yn y dyfodol.    
  
Caiff y datganiad ei gyhoeddi yn ystod y toriad er mwyn rhoi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i aelodau. Os bydd aelodau eisiau i mi wneud datganiad pellach neu ateb cwestiynau ynglŷn â hyn pan fydd y Cynulliad yn dychwelyd, byddwn yn hapus i wneud hynny.

Translation:


 
The Welsh Government has today published guidance aimed at reducing the numbers of children who are held overnight in police custody.    

  

The guidance was produced as part of a project set up by the Welsh Government in 2015 following concerns about the number of children and young people who were being held inappropriately in police cells overnight while awaiting a court appearance the following day.  It focused particularly on children who were charged with an offence and refused bail, and who should be transferred to a secure unit or local authority accommodation under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 and the Social Services and Well\-being (Wales) Act 2014\.  

   

The project involved extensive collaboration and co\-operative working between all relevant agencies, including the four Welsh police forces, Youth Justice Board Cymru, local authority social services, emergency duty teams and Youth Offending Teams.  It has strengthened the working relationships of frontline staff in the police and local authorities, initiated joint training at local level, and improved data collection and sharing of information between agencies.  

  

The ‘All\-Wales guidance for the appropriate management and transfer of children and young people by the Police and Local Authorities under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984’ sets out the roles and responsibilities of the police and local authorities under the legislation, and includes a model protocol for agencies to use to ensure best practice across Wales.    

   

I am grateful for the support and input from all the organisations involved and hope this guidance helps children and young people to access timely and suitable support in the future.  

   

This statement is being issued during recess in order to keep members informed. Should members wish me to make a further statement or to answer questions on this when the Assembly returns I would be happy to do so.
