English: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Our blueprints for women's justice and youth justice represent the Welsh Government and UK Government's joint vision and strategy for supporting women, children and young people who offend or are at risk of offending. We published the blueprints in 2019 in collaboration with HM Prison and Probation Service, the Ministry of Justice, policing in Wales and the youth justice board. This partnership approach is particularly important as justice is currently a reserved area, but interfacing closely with devolved services. I continue to meet with UK justice Ministers to discuss the blueprints and wider justice matters with the Counsel General, to discuss our joint work and our future vision for Welsh justice. But, today, I want to update you on progress against the blueprints. In May 2022, we published our implementation plans, highlighting the progress we're making to divert women and young people away from crime. The Counsel General and I were updated on this work recently by the South Wales deputy police and crime commissioner, Emma Wools, and Dominic Daley, director of engagement and innovation for the Youth Justice Board, the senior responsible officers for the women's and youth blueprints respectively. I would like to share with you some key elements of the ongoing work, focusing firstly on the women's justice blueprint.
Welsh: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Mae ein glasbrintiau ar gyfer cyfiawnder menywod a chyfiawnder ieuenctid yn cynrychioli gweledigaeth a strategaeth ar y cyd Llywodraeth Cymru a Llywodraeth y Deyrnas Unedig ar gyfer cefnogi menywod, plant a phobl ifanc sy'n troseddu neu sydd mewn perygl o droseddu. Fe wnaethom ni gyhoeddi'r glasbrintiau yn 2019 mewn cydweithrediad â Gwasanaeth Carchardai a Phrawf EM, y Weinyddiaeth Gyfiawnder, plismona yng Nghymru a'r bwrdd cyfiawnder ieuenctid. Mae'r dull partneriaeth hwn yn arbennig o bwysig gan fod cyfiawnder yn faes sydd wedi'i gadw'n ôl ar hyn o bryd, ond sydd â pherthynas agos â'r gwasanaethau datganoledig. Rwy'n parhau i gyfarfod â Gweinidogion cyfiawnder y DU i drafod y glasbrintiau a materion cyfiawnder ehangach gyda'r Cwnsler Cyffredinol, i drafod ein gwaith ar y cyd a'n gweledigaeth o ran cyfiawnder yng Nghymru yn y dyfodol. Ond, heddiw, hoffwn eich diweddaru ar y cynnydd ynghylch y glasbrintiau. Ym mis Mai 2022, fe wnaethom ni gyhoeddi ein cynlluniau gweithredu, gan dynnu sylw at y cynnydd rydym ni'n ei wneud i ddargyfeirio menywod a phobl ifanc o droseddu. Cafodd y Cwnsler Cyffredinol a minnau ein diweddaru ar y gwaith hwn yn ddiweddar gan ddirprwy gomisiynydd heddlu a throsedd De Cymru, Emma Wools, a Dominic Daley, cyfarwyddwr ymgysylltu ac arloesi'r Bwrdd Cyfiawnder Ieuenctid, yr uwch swyddogion sy'n gyfrifol am y glasbrintiau menywod ac ieuenctid yn y drefn honno. Hoffwn rannu gyda chi rai elfennau allweddol o'r gwaith sy'n mynd rhagddo, gan ganolbwyntio'n gyntaf ar y glasbrint cyfiawnder menywod.
English: Thank you, Minister. In your statement, and we've heard about the inquiry of the Equality and Social Justice Committee, and I'm a member of that committee. I had an extremely valuable experience on that visit to HMP Eastwood Park. Because that's where I was able to understand in full the implications of the way that Welsh women are disadvantaged by the criminal justice system by being imprisoned, and being imprisoned in England, and the clear discrimination that they face based on their gender, which undermines rehabilitation programmes, and the way that wholly inadequate and unnecessary short sentences cause damage and destruction to lives and to families of some of the most vulnerable people in our society, who have been exploited and, often, abused, as you mentioned. We heard from the governor there that the average sentence given to female prisoners at Eastwood Park was 42 days - long enough for a woman from Wales to lose her house, her family, her medical treatment programme, but not long enough for a woman from Wales to be able to benefit from programmes that could support, strengthen and help her to be free from harmful behaviours, to help to tackle mental health and health issues, and opportunities to deal with the trauma and violence that she has suffered.
Welsh: Diolch, Weinidog. Fe sonioch chi yn eich datganiad, ac rŷn ni wedi clywed am ymchwiliad y Pwyllgor Cydraddoldeb a Chyfiawnder Cymdeithasol, ac rwy'n aelod ohono. Fe ges i brofiad anhygoel, a dweud y gwir, anhygoel o werthfawr ar yr ymweliad yna i HMP Eastwood Park. Achos dyna lle roedden ni'n medru deall yn iawn, mewn gwirionedd, goblygiadau y modd y mae menywod Cymru yn cael eu hanfanteisio gan y system gyfiawnder droseddol drwy gael eu carcharu a chael eu carcharu yn Lloegr; y camwahaniaethu amlwg sy'n digwydd iddyn nhw yn sgil eu rhywedd, yn tanseilio rhaglenni adferiad, a'r modd y mae dedfrydau byrion cwbl anaddas a dibwrpas yn creu difrod a niwed i fywydau ac i deuluoedd rhai o bobl mwyaf bregus ein cymdeithas, sydd wedi eu camfanteisio ac yn aml eu cam-drin fel y sonioch chi. Fe glywson ni gan y llywodraethydd yno mai 42 o ddiwrnodau oedd dedfryd carcharon benywaidd Eastwood Park ar gyfartaledd - digon hir i fenyw o Gymru golli'i thŷ, ei theulu, ei rhaglen o driniaethau iechyd, ond dim yn ddigon hir i fenyw o Gymru fedru elwa o raglenni fyddai'n gallu ei chefnogi hi a'i chryfhau hi, ei helpu hi i ddod yn rhydd o ymddygiadau niweidiol, ei helpu i leddfu problemau iechyd, iechyd meddwl, a chael cyfle i ddelio gyda thrawma a thrais y mae hi wedi eu dioddef.
English: Diolch yn fawr. I'm sure that I will get these questions as a result of recommendations from the committee. Clearly, there should be access to their elected representatives from their home base, their home town. I'm sure that, as constituency Members, many of you have represented - . But the women need to know who they are. So, I think that that's information - that's something that we can take back straight away - in terms of their situations. I think that the healthcare support and initiatives are crucially important, and we are looking at that. There's an agreement for a dedicated women's resource with the new health and justice co-ordinator team. That's also going to link up with local health boards. There's already a partnership agreement for prison health. Also, just to make sure that people understand: I mention the jagged edge again, in terms of the responsibilities between local government and between the Welsh Government and the UK Government, and that we look at those issues in terms of access to health. Indeed, I have mentioned health education, substance misuse. I understand that substance misuse treatments like Buvidal have been available for patients, but we need to identify if this is not happening. It is available outside of prison before it's prescribed in prison, so we need to ensure that there is a recognition of the needs of Welsh women in prisons. But your feedback from your visit to HMP Eastwood Park is very valuable, and I look forward to visiting myself in due course.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr. Rwy'n siŵr y byddaf yn cael y cwestiynau hyn yn sgil argymhellion gan y pwyllgor. Yn amlwg, dylai fod mynediad i'w cynrychiolwyr etholedig o ble bynnag yw eu cartref, eu tref enedigol. Rwy'n siŵr, fel Aelodau etholaethol, fod llawer ohonoch chi wedi cynrychioli - . Ond mae angen i'r menywod wybod pwy ydyn nhw. Felly, rwy'n credu bod hynny'n wybodaeth - mae hynny'n rhywbeth y gallwn ni adrodd yn ôl yn ei gylch syth - o ran eu sefyllfaoedd. Rwy'n credu bod y gefnogaeth a'r mentrau gofal iechyd yn hanfodol bwysig, ac rydym ni'n edrych ar hynny. Mae cytundeb ar gyfer adnodd penodol i fenywod gyda'r tîm cydlynydd iechyd a chyfiawnder newydd. Bydd hynny hefyd yn cysylltu gyda byrddau iechyd lleol. Mae cytundeb partneriaeth eisoes ar gyfer iechyd carchardai. Hefyd, dim ond i wneud yn siŵr bod pobl yn deall: rwy'n sôn am yr ymyl ddanheddog yna eto, o ran y cyfrifoldebau rhwng llywodraeth leol a rhwng Llywodraeth Cymru a Llywodraeth y DU, a'n bod ni'n edrych ar y materion hynny o ran mynediad i iechyd. Yn wir, rwyf wedi sôn am addysg iechyd, camddefnyddio sylweddau. Rwy'n deall y bu triniaethau camddefnyddio sylweddau fel Buvidal ar gael i gleifion, ond mae angen i ni nodi os nad yw hyn yn digwydd. Mae ar gael y tu allan i'r carchar cyn iddo gael ei ragnodi yn y carchar, felly mae angen i ni sicrhau bod yna gydnabyddiaeth o anghenion menywod Cymreig mewn carchardai. Ond mae eich adborth o'ch ymweliad â charchar Eastwood Park yn werthfawr iawn, ac edrychaf ymlaen at ymweld fy hun maes o law.
English: And -
Welsh: Ac -
English: Can I just say I will take that point up? It is something that I'm sure will be raised. It's not for the Welsh Government. It is criminal justice; it is about justice and local justice and justice for women in Wales, and I'll take that up in terms of geographical difference. But also we should be following up Jean Corston's report. We have to have an alternative to prison for women, we want to reduce custodial sentences, and we want to make sure that our VAWDASV strategy actually helps to actually prevent women actually engaging in or being pulled into the criminal justice system. I thank you for your support for devolving justice to Wales.
Welsh: A gaf i ddweud y bydda i'n ymchwilio i'r sylw yna? Mae'n rhywbeth rwy'n siŵr a gaiff ei grybwyll. Does a wnelo hynny ddim â Llywodraeth Cymru. Mae'n ymwneud â chyfiawnder troseddol; mae'n ymwneud â chyfiawnder a chyfiawnder a chyfiawnder lleol i ferched yng Nghymru, ac fe wna i ymchwilio i hynny o ran gwahaniaeth daearyddol. Ond hefyd fe ddylen ni fod yn gweithredu ar adroddiad Jean Corston. Mae'n rhaid i ni gael dewis arall yn hytrach na charchar i fenywod, mae arnom ni eisiau lleihau dedfrydau o garchar, ac mae arnom ni eisiau sicrhau bod ein strategaeth VAWDASV mewn gwirionedd yn helpu i atal menywod rhag cymryd rhan mewn gwirionedd neu gael eu tynnu i mewn i'r system cyfiawnder troseddol. Diolch i chi am eich cefnogaeth i ddatganoli cyfiawnder i Gymru.
English: Item 8 is the statement by the Deputy Minister for Social Partnership on fire service training and capacity to broaden the role. I call on the Deputy Minister to make the statement - Hannah Blythyn.
Welsh: Eitem 8 yw'r datganiad gan y Dirprwy Weinidog Partneriaeth Cymdeithasol, hyfforddiant y gwasanaeth tân a chapasiti i ehangu'r rôl. Galwaf ar y Dirprwy Weinidog i wneud y datganiad - Hannah Blythyn.
English: Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. Our fire and rescue services have much to be proud of. In particular, they've contributed greatly to a significant and sustained fall in incidence of fire.
Welsh: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Mae gan ein gwasanaethau tân ac achub llawer iawn i fod yn falch ohono. Yn benodol, maen nhw wedi gwneud cyfraniad mawr at sicrhau lleihad sylweddol a chyson mewn tannau.
English: Thank you, Deputy Minister, for the statement today.
Welsh: Diolch i'r Gweinidog am y datganiad heddiw.
English: Thankfully, we are seeing fewer and fewer domestic fires. I think that's a positive thing going forward, and, of course, I know that there are many people in the fire service who wish now to see what else they can do in order for the service to remain relevant. I was quite disappointed, actually, with one of the comments made by Joel, which sort of, in my view, equated the fact that now there are fewer fires with firefighters now using that as an opportunity to sleep on shift. I thought that was quite a disappointing comment, to be quite frank with you. But, our fire service, needless to say, are facing -
Welsh: Diolch byth ein bod yn gweld llai a llai o danau domestig. Rwy'n credu bod hynny'n beth positif wrth symud ymlaen, ac wrth gwrs, rwy'n gwybod bod yna lawer o bobl yn y gwasanaeth tân sy'n dymuno nawr i weld beth arall y gallan nhw ei wneud er mwyn i'r gwasanaeth barhau'n berthnasol. Roeddwn i'n eithaf siomedig, mewn gwirionedd, gydag un o'r sylwadau a wnaed gan Joel, a oedd i raddau, yn fy marn i, yn ceisio awgrymu bod y ffaith y ceir llai o danau erbyn hyn yn cael ei defnyddio gan ddiffoddwyr tân bellach fel cyfle i gysgu ar shifft. Roeddwn i'n credu bod hynny'n sylw eithaf siomedig, a bod yn hollol onest. Ond, mae ein gwasanaeth tân, afraid dweud, yn wynebu -
English: Joel, this isn't a debate, so interventions are not possible. So, carry on, Luke Fletcher.
Welsh: Joel, nid dadl yw hon, felly nid yw ymyriadau'n bosibl. Felly, ewch ymlaen, Luke Fletcher.
English: The next item is a statement by the Minister for Social Justice, an update on Ukraine. I call on the Minister to make the statement. Jane Hutt.
Welsh: Yr eitem nesaf, felly, yw'r datganiad gan y Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol ar y diweddariad ar Wcráin. Dwi'n galw ar y Gweinidog i wneud ei datganiad. Jane Hutt.
English: Thank you very much, Sioned Williams, for your very important question.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr, Sioned Williams, am eich cwestiwn pwysig iawn.
English: Thank you, Minister. That brings that item to a close, and it brings our proceedings to a close for today. Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch i'r Gweinidog. Dyna ddiwedd ar yr eitem, a diwedd ar ein gwaith ni am y dydd heddiw. Diolch yn fawr i chi.
English: My husband is employed by Swansea University.
Welsh: Mae fy ngŵr yn gyflogedig gan Brifysgol Abertawe.
English: Thank you, Chair, and good morning. My questions are more specifically for the education Minister, about the mental health support that's available within universities themselves. We have discussed a little bit about the nature of the provision, but also of course the nature of the sector means inevitably that the nature of the provision, and maybe the standard, is variable. The evidence that we've heard has called for an agreed minimum expectation, a baseline of support, for any and all students. But also, as we have heard in the answers given, there's the need to look at the person behind the data and that principle of understanding and respecting the diversity of providers and students. So, I just want to ask: do you agree with the principle of having a common framework for mental health support, and perhaps the need for such a framework?
Welsh: Diolch, Cadeirydd, a bore da. Mae fy nghwestiynau i yn fwy penodol i'r Gweinidog addysg, am y cymorth iechyd sydd ar gael o fewn y prifysgolion eu hunain. Rŷn ni wedi trafod tipyn bach am natur y ddarpariaeth, ond hefyd wrth gwrs mae natur y sector yn golygu yn anorfod fod natur y ddarpariaeth a, hwyrach, y safon, yn amrywiol. Mae'r dystiolaeth rŷn ni wedi'i chlywed wedi galw am gytuno ar isafswm, rhyw fath o waelodlin o gefnogaeth, y gellid disgwyl i unrhyw fyfyriwr a phob myfyriwr ei gael. Ond mae hefyd, wrth gwrs, fel rŷn ni wedi'i glywed yn yr atebion ynglŷn â'r angen yna i edrych at y person sydd y tu ôl i'r data, yr egwyddor yna o ddeall a pharchu amrywiaeth darparwyr a myfyrwyr ar yr un pryd. Felly, jest eisiau holi: ydych chi'n cytuno â'r egwyddor o gael fframwaith cyffredin ar gyfer cymorth iechyd meddwl, a'r angen, hwyrach, am fframwaith o'r fath?
English: Well, I saw the evidence that you referred to. I think it is interesting. I've had discussions with more than one institution or organisation about the broad potential in this area. What I would say is that I think it's certainly worth looking at a framework of common expectations, if you like. So, I would have an interest in hearing what the committee would have to say on this in particular. But, as you say in your question, it's also important to acknowledge and recognise the independence and diversity amongst institutions themselves. So, I would think that the most practical way of ensuring that we do reach the aim that you are talking about is a framework of common principles, and that those should take different forms in different institutions, if that flexibility were to be needed. What I would like to see, and what I think is important to see, is that this is led by the sector, working with professionals in the field, because, as we've said already in this discussion, the blend of students and the demographics of students varies, so we need that element of flexibility. But I would certainly welcome that conversation and I look forward to hearing what you have to say as a committee on that. I think there is also potential to feed in, if I can put it that way, to the registration conditions under the new commission in the future. There is a way to go before that happens, of course, but that could be part of that process too.
Welsh: Wel, fe wnes i weld y dystiolaeth rŷch chi'n cyfeirio ati hi. Mae yna rywbeth diddorol yn hyn o beth. Rwy wedi cael trafodaethau gyda mwy nag un sefydliad am beth yw'r potensial bras yn y maes yma. Beth fuaswn i'n dweud yw fy mod i'n credu ei fod e'n sicr yn werth edrych ar fframwaith o ddisgwyliadau cyffredin, os hoffwch chi. Felly, byddai gyda fi wir ddiddordeb yn clywed beth fydd gan y pwyllgor i'w ddweud yn hyn o beth. Ond, fel rŷch chi'n dweud yn y cwestiwn, mae'n bwysig hefyd i gydnabod bod annibyniaeth ac amrywiaeth ymhlith y sefydliadau eu hunain. Felly, byddwn i'n meddwl mai'r ffordd fwyaf ymarferol o sicrhau ein bod ni'n cyrraedd y nod rŷch chi'n cyfeirio ato fe, efallai, yw fframwaith o egwyddorion cyffredin, a bod y rheini yn cymryd ffurf, efallai, wahanol, ar lawr gwlad ym mhob sefydliad, os oes angen yr hyblygrwydd hwnnw ar sefydliadau penodol. Beth hoffwn i ei weld, a beth rwy'n credu sydd yn bwysig i'w gweld, os ydym ni'n gwneud disgwyliad cyffredin o'r fath, yw bod hyn yn cael ei arwain gan y sector, yn gweithio gyda phobl broffesiynol yn y maes, oherwydd, fel rŷn ni wedi sôn mewn amryw o bethau eisoes yn y drafodaeth yma, mae blend myfyrwyr a demograffeg myfyrwyr yn amrywio, ac felly mae angen yr elfen honno o hyblygrwydd. Ond byddwn i yn sicr yn croesawu'r drafodaeth honno ac yn edrych ymlaen i glywed beth fydd gennych chi i'w ddweud fel pwyllgor. Rwy'n credu bod potensial yn hyn o beth hefyd i fwydo i mewn, os caf i ei ddodi fe fel yna, i'r telerau cofrestru o dan y comisiwn newydd yn y dyfodol. Rŷn ni ychydig cyn bod hynny yn digwydd, wrth gwrs, ond gallwch chi weld bod hyn yn rhan o'r broses honno hefyd.
English: Could you give us an update on the development of the regulation arrangements, in terms of those new registration conditions regarding well-being?
Welsh: Gallwch chi roi unrhyw ddiweddariad i ni am ddatblygiad y trefniadau rheoleiddio newydd yna, o ran yr amod cofrestru newydd yna yn ymwneud â llesiant?
English: Yes. So, if a letter hasn't reached the committee yet, it is about to do so - it should arrive today - to explain where we are in general in terms of establishing the commission and so on. As I said in the statement of policy intent that was published alongside the legislation, the intention is to establish the register from the outset, and that that will be populated in summer 2025, with the new regulatory arrangements in operation from the 2026-27 academic year. So, that's the general timetable for that. Developing the terms themselves, of course, will be part of the responsibility of the new commission, but that's where we are in terms of the timetable, and a letter should arrive for you, if it hasn't already, to explain in more detail where we are.
Welsh: Ie. So, os nad oes llythyr wedi cyrraedd y pwyllgor eto, mae e ar fin cyrraedd - byddwn i'n disgwyl cyrhaeddiff e chi heddiw - yn esbonio lle rŷn ni yn gyffredinol ar wireddu sefydlu'r comisiwn ac ati. Fel gwnes i sôn yn y datganiad o fwriad polisi gafodd ei gyhoeddi ynghyd â'r Ddeddf, y bwriad yw sefydlu'r gofrestr o'r cychwyn, a bod hynny yn cael ei boblogi yn haf 2025, gyda'r trefniadau rheoliadol newydd felly yn gweithio am y flwyddyn academaidd 2026-27. Felly, dyna'r amserlen fras ar gyfer hynny. Bydd datblygu'r termau eu hunain, wrth gwrs, yn rhan o gyfrifoldeb y comisiwn newydd, ond dyna lle rŷn ni o ran amserlen, ac, fel roeddwn i'n dweud, bydd llythyr yn eich cyrraedd chi, os nad yw e eisoes wedi, yn esbonio mewn mwy o fanylder lle mae pethau.
English: Thank you. What's your vision - ? I appreciate of course that it's the commission's responsibility in the future, but what's your vision in terms of how the system and the new regulatory structures for the commission will hold these providers to account on their mental health provision?
Welsh: Diolch. Beth yw eich gweledigaeth chi - ? Yn gwerthfawrogi wrth gwrs taw cyfrifoldeb y comisiwn fydd hyn, ond beth yw eich gweledigaeth chi o ran sut bydd y system a strwythurau rheoleiddio'r comisiwn yn dwyn darparwyr i gyfrif am eu darpariaeth iechyd meddwl?
English: Well, the main way of doing that will be through the registration conditions and terms. Every organisation or institution that is registered will need to ensure that they achieve that aim in terms of conditions and terms for being on the register in the first place and ensure that those continue. That's the first time that that will have happened in any part of the United Kingdom, I believe, so that is very important to note. But also, of course, the commission will have, in various contexts, opportunities to fund directly, and it's important to ensure that the terms and conditions that are relevant to those specific grants reflect the principles and emphasise, indeed, the provision of mental health support. So, there are several ways in which the commission can do that. And what that creates, of course, is the basis. If specific intervention is needed if an institution doesn't meet the requirement in terms of mental health objectives, then the commission can work supportively, if you will, with an institution - it can provide advice and support, look at reviews of specific institutions, or also impose specific terms and conditions with regard to registration, provide guidance and direction to institutions, and, in the most problematic situations, it can withdraw an institution from the register. So, there are several ways in which these new reforms are going to be able to move things forward significantly in terms of the structure of the system that we have.
Welsh: Wel, y brif ffordd o wneud hynny bydd trwy'r telerau cofrestru. Bydd angen i bob sefydliad sy'n cael ei gofrestru sicrhau eu bod nhw'n cyrraedd y nod hwnnw o ran telerau ar gyfer bod ar y gofrestr yn y lle cyntaf a sicrhau bod y telerau yna yn cael eu parhau. Dyma'r tro cyntaf i hynny ddigwydd mewn unrhyw ran o'r Deyrnas Unedig, rwy'n credu, felly mae hynny'n beth pwysig iawn. Ond hefyd, wrth gwrs, bydd gan y comisiwn, mewn amryw o gyd-destunau, gyfle i ariannu'n uniongyrchol, ac mae'n bosib hefyd sicrhau bod y termau sy'n berthnasol i'r grantiau penodol, fod y rheini hefyd yn adlewyrchu'r egwyddorion a phwysleisio darparu ar gyfer iechyd meddwl. Felly, mae amryw ffyrdd y bydd y comisiwn yn gallu gwneud hynny. A beth mae hynny'n creu, wrth gwrs, yw sail. Os oes angen ymyrraeth benodol os nad ydy sefydliad yn cyrraedd y nod o ran amcanion iechyd meddwl, gall y comisiwn weithio, os hoffwch chi, yn gefnogol gyda sefydliad - rhoi cyngor, rhoi cymorth, edrych ar adolygiadau o sefydliadau penodol, neu hefyd gorfodi telerau penodol o ran cofrestru, rhoi cyfeiriadau penodol i sefydliadau, ac, yn y sefyllfaoedd mwyaf problematig, tynnu sefydliad oddi ar y gofrestr. Felly, mae lot o ffyrdd rwy'n gweld bod y diwygiadau newydd yma'n mynd i allu symud pethau ymlaen yn sylweddol iawn o ran strwythur y system sydd gyda ni.
