Named *Coronavirus and Me*, the survey is open to those aged 7 to 18 and covers key themes and issues including about their health, education, the impact on social aspects of their lives and the needs of specific groups.


Welsh Government has teamed up with the Children’s Commissioner for Wales, Children in Wales and Welsh Youth Parliament / Senedd Ieuenctid Cymru to design the nation\-wide survey. They are the first government in the UK to formally seek the views of its country’s children and young people.


The results will help to inform the Welsh Government’s approach to working with and communicating to Wales’ younger generation during and beyond the pandemic.


To enable a diverse range of children and young people to take part \- including children under 7 and those with additional support needs \- a symbols version of the survey is available as well as picture activity task as an alternative of filling out the text version of the survey.


Welsh Youth Parliament Member Jonathon Dawes, who represents the Vale of Clwyd, is encouraging young people to take the opportunity to have their voices heard.


Jonathon said:



> “Coronavirus is presenting many challenges for young people the length and breadth of Wales, ranging from employment to mental health. Have your say by participating in our survey in collaboration with the Welsh Government and the Children's Commissioner to ensure your voice is heard.”


Finlay Bertram, Welsh Youth Parliament Member for Newport West, added:



> “We want all young people to have your say on this extremely important topic which affects us all.”


The Deputy Minister for Health and Social Services, Julie Morgan, said:



> “Children and young people’s opinions are at the heart of the work we do here in Wales.
> 
> 
> “These times can be especially unsettling for children and young people and this survey is an important opportunity for us to hear their views and concerns. We must ensure we listen and act to alleviate worries and reassure as best we can.
> 
> 
> “Our partners will make every effort to target groups who may be disengaged, vulnerable, digitally isolated or with poor communication skills to ensure we involve as many children and young people as we can.”


Speaking directly to children and young people, the Minister continued:



> “Your thoughts, views and experiences are really important which is why I want to hear from as many of you as possible. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey and help us to support you.”


Children’s Commissioner for Wales, Professor Sally Holland, said:



> “Children and young people’s lives were changed overnight when schools, nurseries, colleges and playgrounds were closed. One of my main priorities is to make sure that children and young people don’t become invisible during this pandemic. I want to make sure that this nation\-wide survey will really shape Welsh Government’s thinking and actions.
> 
> 
> “We’re fortunate to have a Government in Wales committed to children’s rights and are eager to listen to children’s views at a time when they need to listen the most.”


The survey will be widely promoted through social media, partnership networks and the Welsh Government’s Hwb website.

Mae’r arolwg, *Coronafeirws a fi,* yn agored i bobl ifanc rhwng 7 a 18 oed. Mae’n ymdrin â themâu a materion allweddol, gan gynnwys iechyd, addysg, effaith y coronafeirws ar agweddau cymdeithasol ar eu bywydau ac anghenion grwpiau penodol.


Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cydweithio â Chomisiynydd Plant Cymru, Plant yng Nghymru a Senedd Ieuenctid Cymru i lunio’r arolwg cenedlaethol. Llywodraeth Cymru yw’r llywodraeth gyntaf yn y DU i geisio barn plant a phobl ifanc y wlad yn ffurfiol.


Bydd canlyniadau’r arolwg yn helpu i lywio dull Llywodraeth Cymru o weithio gyda chenhedlaeth iau Cymru a chyfathrebu â hi yn ystod cyfnod y pandemig a thu hwnt iddo.


Er mwyn caniatáu i amrywiaeth eang o blant a phobl ifanc gymryd rhan, gan gynnwys plant o dan 7 oed ac unigolion ag anghenion cymorth ychwanegol, mae fersiwn â symbolau o’r arolwg ar gael. Mae yna hefyd weithgaredd sy’n cynnwys lluniau y gellir ei gwblhau yn lle llenwi’r arolwg sydd ar ffurf testun.


Mae Jonathon Dawes, Aelod Senedd Ieuenctid Cymru sy’n cynrychioli Dyffryn Clwyd, yn annog pobl ifanc i fanteisio ar y cyfle i fynegi eu barn.


Dywedodd Jonathon:



> *“*Mae’r coronafeirws yn cyflwyno llawer o heriau i bobl ifanc ar hyd a lled Cymru. Mae’r heriau hynny’n amrywio o faterion yn ymwneud â chyflogaeth i faterion yn ymwneud ag iechyd meddwl. Mynegwch eich barn chi drwy gymryd rhan yn ein harolwg. Cafodd ei lunio ar y cyd â Llywodraeth Cymru a’r Comisiynydd Plant er mwyn sicrhau eich bod chi’n cael cyfle i ddweud eich dweud.”


Ychwanegodd Finlay Bertram, Aelod Senedd Ieuenctid Cymru ar gyfer Gorllewin Casnewydd:



> “Rydyn ni eisiau i bob person ifanc gael cyfle i fynegi ei farn am y pwnc pwysig iawn hwn sy’n effeithio arnom ni i gyd.”


Dywedodd Julie Morgan, y Dirprwy Weinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol:



> “Mae barn plant a phobl ifanc yn ganolog i’r gwaith rydyn ni’n ei wneud yma yng Nghymru.
> 
> 
> “Gall cyfnodau fel hyn fod yn arbennig o heriol i blant a phobl ifanc. Mae’r arolwg hwn yn gyfle pwysig inni glywed eu sylwadau a’u pryderon. Rhaid inni wneud yn siŵr ein bod ni’n gwrando ac yn cymryd camau i leddfu pryderon ac yn gwneud ein gorau i dawelu meddyliau.
> 
> 
> “Bydd ein partneriaid yn gwneud pob ymdrech i dargedu grwpiau sydd o bosib yn teimlo nad yw’r neges yn berthnasol iddyn nhw, sy’n agored i niwed, sy’n ynysig yn ddigidol neu sy’n methu cyfathrebu’n dda iawn er mwyn sicrhau ein bod yn cynnwys cymaint o blant a phobl ifanc ag y gallwn ni.”


Wrth siarad yn uniongyrchol â phlant a phobl ifanc, dywedodd y Gweinidog:



> *“*Mae eich meddyliau, eich barn a’ch profiadau chi yn bwysig iawn. Dyna pam rydw i eisiau clywed gan gynifer ohonoch chi â phosibl. Cymerwch ychydig o funudau i gwblhau’r arolwg hwn i’n helpu ni i’ch cefnogi chi.”


Dywedodd Sally Holland, Comisiynydd Plant Cymru:



> “Fe newidiodd bywydau plant a phobl ifanc dros nos pan gafodd ysgolion, meithrinfeydd, colegau a meysydd chwarae eu cau. Un o fy mhrif flaenoriaethau yw gwneud yn siŵr nad ydy plant a phobl ifanc yn cael eu hanghofio yn ystod y pandemig hwn. Rydw i eisiau gwneud yn siŵr y bydd yr arolwg cenedlaethol hwn yn siapio syniadau Llywodraeth Cymru ac yn dylanwadu ar y camau y bydd yn eu cymryd.
> 
> 
> “Rydyn ni’n ffodus iawn bod gennym lywodraeth yng Nghymru sydd wedi ymrwymo i sicrhau hawliau plant ac sy’n awyddus i wrando ar sylwadau plant ar adeg pan fo angen iddi wrando fwyaf.”


Bydd yr arolwg yn cael ei hyrwyddo’n eang drwy’r cyfryngau cymdeithasol, rhwydweithiau partneriaeth ac ar wefan Hwb Llywodraeth Cymru.
