Wales was the first country in the world to legislate for play. Under The Children and Families (Wales) Measure 2010, local authorities have a duty to assess for and secure sufficient play opportunities for children in their areas.


The legislation also directs local authorities to consider the diverse needs of all children and young people in their area, including those with disabilities.


The funding announced today will go to projects across Wales, which include:


 


* New facilities and equipment, such as a proposal by Blaenau Gwent Council to develop a splash park at Parc Brynbach in Tredegar;
* New technology, such as geocaching tracking equipment which will allow children and young people with additional needs and impairments to participate in treasure hunts and other games with support from their families, carers and support staff;
* Improvements to open space play areas, including improvements to park areas, woodland areas to ensure the best use of open space, including disabled access;
* Play initiatives and schemes delivered by the third sector for children and young people, including provision where families of disabled children can drop in at ay time and offer support to each other whilst their children play;
* Play libraries which give children with disabilities access to therapeutic and specialist toys on loan;
* Free access to leisure provision for disabled children and young people, including free swim sessions;
* Art workshops to encourage team building and increase the participation of children with learning difficulties, gypsy traveller children and children from an armed forces background;


Funding will also go towards training on recognising the signs of autism and specialist activity training to enable play workers to engage with disabled children and young people.


In addition, the Minister has announced £30,000 funding for Play Wales to develop and deliver a social campaign aimed at parents and communities to help make their communities more playful.


Announcing the funding, the Minister for Children, Huw Irranca\-Davies said:



> “I want Wales to be a country where all children and young people have a wide range of challenging and interesting opportunities to play and to enjoy their leisure time.
> 
> 
> “There is increasing concern about the mental and physical health of children and young people. \&nbsp;At the same time, there is growing evidence that playing makes a significant contribution to the fitness and well\-being of children and improving perceptions of well\-being amongst children and their families.
> 
> 
> “The £1\.7m funding boost will help local authorities across Wales to improve play opportunities for children across Wales – helping us to work towards creating a play friendly country.”

Cymru oedd y wlad gyntaf yn y byd i ddeddfu ar chwarae. O dan Fesur Plant a Theuluoedd (Cymru) 2010, mae dyletswydd ar awdurdodau lleol i asesu cyfleoedd chwarae i blant a sicrhau bod digon ohonynt yn eu hardaloedd.

Mae’r ddeddfwriaeth hefyd yn ei gwneud hi’n ofynnol i awdurdodau lleol ystyried anghenion amrywiol pob plentyn a pherson ifanc yn eu hardal, yn cynnwys y rheini sydd ag anableddau.

Bydd yr arian a gyhoeddwyd heddiw yn mynd i brosiectau ledled Cymru, yn cynnwys:

* Cyfleusterau ac offer newydd, fel y cynnig gan Gyngor Blaenau Gwent i ddatblygu parc sblash ym Mharc Brynbach yn Nhredegar;
* Technoleg newydd, fel offer olrhain geogelcio, a fydd yn galluogi plant a phobl ifanc sydd ag anghenion ychwanegol a namau i gymryd rhan mewn helfeydd trysor a gemau eraill gyda chymorth eu teuluoedd, gofalwyr a staff cymorth;
* Gwelliannau i fannau chwarae agored, yn cynnwys gwelliannau i barciau, coetiroedd i sicrhau’r defnydd gorau o fannau agored, yn cynnwys mynediad ar gyfer pobl anabl;
* Mentrau a chynlluniau chwarae dan ofal y trydydd sector ar gyfer plant a phobl ifanc, yn cynnwys darpariaeth lle mae teuluoedd plant anabl yn gallu galw heibio unrhyw bryd a chynnig cymorth i’w gilydd tra bod eu plant yn chwarae;
* Llyfrgelloedd chwarae sy’n galluogi plant ag anableddau i fenthyca teganau therapiwtig ac arbenigol;
* Mynediad am ddim i ddarpariaeth hamdden ar gyfer plant a phobl ifanc anabl yn cynnwys sesiynau nofio am ddim;
* Gweithdai celf i annog gwaith tîm a chynyddu cyfranogiad plant ag anawsterau dysgu, plant sipsiwn a theithwyr a phlant o gefndir lluoedd arfog.

Bydd cyllid hefyd ar gyfer hyfforddiant ar adnabod arwyddion awtistiaeth a hyfforddiant gweithgarwch arbenigol i alluogi gweithwyr chwarae i weithio gyda phlant a phobl ifanc anabl.

Yn ogystal, mae'r Gweinidog wedi cyhoeddi cyllid o £ 30,000 ar gyfer Chwarae Cymru i ddatblygu a chyflwyno ymgyrch gymdeithasol sydd wedi'i anelu at rieni a chymunedau i helpu i greu awyrgylch o chaware yn eu cymunedau.

Wrth gyhoeddi’r cyllid, dywedodd y Gweinidog Plant, Huw Irranca\-Davies:


> “Rydw i eisiau i Gymru fod yn wlad lle mae pob plentyn a pherson ifanc yn cael amrywiaeth eang o gyfleoedd heriol a diddorol i chwarae a mwynhau eu hamser hamdden.
> 
> “Mae yna bryder cynyddol am iechyd meddyliol a chorfforol plant a phobl ifanc. Ar yr un pryd, mae tystiolaeth gynyddol fod chwarae’n gwneud cyfraniad sylweddol at ffitrwydd a llesiant plant ac yn gwella canfyddiadau llesiant ymysg plant a’u teuluoedd.
> 
> “Bydd y cyllid ychwanegol o £1\.7 miliwn yn helpu awdurdodau lleol ledled Cymru i wella cyfleoedd chwarae i blant ledled Cymru \- gan ein helpu i gyrraedd y nod o greu gwlad sy’n rhoi blaenoriaeth i chwarae.”
