English: I thank Jayne Bryant for those remarks and those questions. When I made my statement, I want to be clear about what we are doing: we have never at any point, in fact, changed the law in relation to fixed-penalty notices. She may remember that we decided not to do that, but that we would express a view, if you like, about the extent to which they should be used in the context of the last two years. And what we are doing today is simply saying that the guidance that existed previously should be reinstated. But her question provides me with the opportunity of emphasising once again that I think it's important to see - in the way that Laura Anne Jones was saying in her question - this as part of a range of steps and that, actually, the focus will very much be on supporting learners and families to make sure, through the work of family engagement officers, through the guidance, the reassurance, through the work in relation to the blended learning review, through that fresh look at the point at which the various supportive interventions that are available to school start to be made available, by looking again at the persistent absence threshold in particular, but other trigger points as well, all of those interventions come together. And I know that she will have seen this in the report: there is a sense of the range of tools that schools have available to them and I'm very clear that it'll be in a very small number of cases that notices will be unfortunately needed. For the overwhelming majority, I'm confident that the work that schools will do, which they're very skilled at doing, and with the additional resources that we are providing, I'm confident that, for most learners, for most families, that will be the best way for making sure that learners come back to school, learn with their peers face to face with their teachers, which is very beneficial in terms of their education, but also, as a number of contributions reflected today, absolutely essential to their well-being as well.
Welsh: Diolch i Jayne Bryant am y sylwadau yna a'r cwestiynau. Pan wnes i fy natganiad, rydw i am fod yn glir ynglŷn â'r hyn yr ydym ni'n ei wneud: mewn gwirionedd, dydyn ni erioed wedi newid y gyfraith ar unrhyw adeg mewn cysylltiad â hysbysiadau cosb benodedig. Efallai ei bod hi'n cofio i ni benderfynu peidio â gwneud hynny, ond y byddem yn mynegi barn, os mynnwch chi, ynghylch i ba raddau y dylid eu defnyddio yng nghyd-destun y ddwy flynedd ddiwethaf. A'r hyn yr ydym ni'n ei wneud heddiw yw dweud y dylid adfer y canllawiau oedd yn bodoli o'r blaen. Ond mae ei chwestiwn yn rhoi cyfle i mi bwysleisio unwaith eto fy mod i'n credu ei bod yn bwysig gweld hyn - yn y ffordd yr oedd Laura Anne Jones yn dweud yn ei chwestiwn - fel rhan o ystod o gamau ac, mewn gwirionedd, y bydd y pwyslais i raddau helaeth ar gefnogi dysgwyr a theuluoedd i wneud yn siŵr, drwy waith swyddogion ymgysylltu â theuluoedd, drwy'r canllawiau, y tawelwch meddwl, drwy'r gwaith mewn cysylltiad â'r adolygiad dysgu cyfunol, drwy'r olwg newydd honno ar y pwynt pryd y mae'r ymyriadau cefnogol amrywiol sydd ar gael i'r ysgol yn dechrau bod ar gael, drwy edrych eto ar y trothwy absenoldeb parhaus yn benodol, ond pwyntiau sbarduno eraill hefyd, mae'r holl ymyriadau hynny'n dod at ei gilydd. Ac rwy'n gwybod y bydd hi wedi gweld hyn yn yr adroddiad: mae ymdeimlad o'r ystod o offer sydd ar gael i ysgolion ac rwy'n glir iawn y bydd angen hysbysiadau mewn nifer fach iawn o achosion. I'r mwyafrif llethol, rwy'n ffyddiog mai'r gwaith y bydd ysgolion yn ei wneud, y maen nhw'n fedrus iawn yn ei wneud, a gyda'r adnoddau ychwanegol yr ydym ni'n eu darparu, rwy'n ffyddiog, i'r rhan fwyaf o ddysgwyr, i'r rhan fwyaf o deuluoedd, mai dyna'r ffordd orau o sicrhau bod dysgwyr yn dod yn ôl i'r ysgol, yn dysgu gyda'u cyfoedion wyneb yn wyneb â'u hathrawon, sy'n fuddiol iawn o ran eu haddysg, ond hefyd, fel yr adlewyrchodd nifer o gyfraniadau heddiw, yn gwbl hanfodol i'w llesiant hefyd.
