Ar ran Llywodraeth Cymru, rwy’n croesawu adroddiad blynyddol Comisiynydd Plant Cymru. Rwy’n cydnabod y gwaith a wnaed gan ei swyddfa, ar ran plant a phobl ifanc y genedl, yn siarad drostynt ac yn gwarchod a hyrwyddo eu hawliau a’u lles.  
  
Rydym wedi a byddwn yn parhau i gydweithio er lles pob un o’n plant a’n pobl ifanc.  Fel Llywodraeth, byddwn yn parhau i geisio sicrhau bod gan bob plentyn yng Nghymru y dechrau gorau posibl mewn bywyd.  Mae’r blynyddoedd cynnar, yn enwedig, yn brif flaenoriaeth ac mae hyn wedi’i bennu o fewn ein Rhaglen Lywodraethu yn ogystal â’n strategaeth cenedlethol ‘Ffyniant i Bawb’.  
  
Cyhoeddodd Comisiynydd Plant Cymru ei Hadroddiad Blynyddol 2016\-17 ar 9 Hydref, ac ynddo mae’n adolygu gwaith ei swyddfa yn ystod y cyfnod 1 Ebrill 2016 i 31 Mawrth 2017\.   
  
Mae’r adroddiad yn cynnwys 19 o argymhellion trawsbynciol i Lywodraeth Cymru.  Mae’r ymateb, a gyhoeddwyd heddiw, yn adlewyrchu llais Llywodraeth Cymru ac yn cynnwys ymatebion nifer o Ysgrifenyddion a Gweinidogion y Cabinet.  
  
Bu’r Cynulliad Cenedlaethol yn trafod Adroddiad y Comisiynydd yn ei gyfarfod llawn ar 14 Tachwedd 2017\. Rydym wedi ystyried y trafodaethau hynny wrth baratoi ein hymateb. Rydym wedi ymateb i’r 19 o argymhellion yn eu tro; ac yn cyflwyno rhagor o wybodaeth ar y camau y mae Llywodraeth Cymru eisoes wedi neu’n bwriadu eu cymryd.   
  
Rwy’n falch ein bod ni fel Llywodraeth wedi gallu derbyn, neu dderbyn mewn egwyddor neu’n rhannol, holl argymhellion y Comisiynydd Plant namyn un. Credaf fod hyn oherwydd ein bod ni’n parhau i rannu gweledigaeth sy’n rhoi plant wrth galon ein gwaith, yn ogystal â’r nod cyffredin o sicrhau eu bod yn gallu cael gafael ar y cymorth sydd ei angen arnynt, ar yr amser sydd ei angen, er mwyn eu helpu i gyflawni o’u gorau a byw bywydau iach, hapus a llewyrchus.  
  
Nid ydym wedi derbyn yr argymhelliad ynglŷn â’r cynnig gofal plant. Mae’r cynnig wedi’i gynllunio’n benodol i helpu rhieni i ddychwelyd i’r gwaith trwy gael gwared ar rwystr costau gofal plant ac atal tlodi mewn gwaith, trwy ysgwyddo’r gost bwysig hon. Bydd o leiaf 10 awr yr wythnos o addysg ar gael i bob plentyn 3 a 4 oed o hyd, tan y byddant yn cychwyn addysg llawn amser. Mae’r cynnig gofal plant, fodd bynnag, ymhlith cyfres o bolisïau ehangach sy’n cefnogi rhieni a phlant teuluoedd sydd mewn gwaith a’r rhai hynny nad ydynt yn gweithio.  
  
Mae rôl y Comisiynydd fel llais annibynnol a diduedd dros blant yng Nghymru yn bwysig. Mae cyhoeddi ei hadroddiad blynyddol yn gyfle inni fyfyrio ar ein cyflawniadau hyd yma, a lle gallwn ni wella.  Yn ei hadroddiad, mae’r Comisiynydd wedi pwysleisio rhai o’r meysydd lle bu cynnydd sylweddol trwy gydweithredu, gan gynnwys bwrw ymlaen â Breuddwydion Cudd, gwasanaeth eirioli annibynnol i blant a phobl ifanc, a chynigion i ddileu’r amddiffyniad o gosb resymol.  
  
Er, fel Llywodraeth, na allwn gytuno â’r Comisiynydd Plant ar bob mater sydd dan sylw, rwy’n credu bod gennym lawer o syniadau tebyg, ac awydd i wneud ein gorau glas i blant a phobl ifanc yng Nghymru.

Translation:


 
On behalf of the Welsh Government I welcome the Children‘s Commissioner for Wales annual report. I recognise the work her office has undertaken, on behalf of the children and young people of Wales, to speak up on their behalf and to safeguard and promote their rights and welfare.  

  

We have and will continue to work collaboratively for the benefit of all of our children and young people. As a Government, we will continue to strive to ensure that all children in Wales to have the best possible start in life. The early years, in particular, are a key priority and this is set out within both our Programme for Government and our national strategy ‘Prosperity for All’.  

  

The Children’s Commissioner for Wales published her 2016\-17 Annual Report on 9 October, in which she has reviewed the work undertaken by her office during the period 1 April 2016 to 31 March 2017\.  

  

The report includes 19 cross\-cutting recommendations for the Welsh Government. The response, published today, correspondingly reflects the collective voice of the Welsh Government and includes the responses provided by a number of Cabinet Secretaries and Ministers.  

  

The National Assembly debated the Commissioner’s Report in plenary on 14 November 2017\.  These discussions have been considered in preparing our response. The 19 recommendations have been addressed in turn; with further information provided on the actions which the Welsh Government has already or intends to take.  

  

I am pleased that as a Government we were able to accept, or accept in principle or accept in part all but one of the Children’s Commissioners recommendations. I believe that this is because we continue to share a vision that puts children at the very heart of what we do, alongside a shared goal of ensuring that all children can receive the support they need, when they need it, to help them achieve their potential and to live a happy, healthy and prosperous lives.  

  

We have not accepted the recommendation relating to the childcare offer. The offer is explicitly designed to help parents to return to work by removing the barrier of childcare costs and to counter in\-work poverty by meeting this important cost. At least 10 hours a week of education will continue to be available to all 3 and 4 year olds until they start full\-time education. The childcare offer, however, is just one of a wider suite of policies which support parents and children of both working and non\-working families.  

  

The role of the Commissioner as an impartial and independent voice for children in Wales is important. The publication of her annual report helps us to reflect on achievements to date, and where we can do better.  In her report the Commissioner has highlighted some of the areas where we have made significant progress through working collaboratively, including in taking forward Hidden Ambitions, independent advocacy for children and young people and in proposals to remove the defence of reasonable punishment.  

  

While, as a Government, we might not be able to agree on every single issue with the Children’s Commissioner, I believe that we share much common ground and a desire to do our very best for children and young people in Wales.
