English: Well, first of all, can I take this opportunity to congratulate Bangor on the work that they are doing to widen access and participation for this particular group of students? The £1,000 bursary was a really innovative intervention and a fantastic way to highlight National Carers Rights Day, which was the day they officially launched that and the other programmes that they have. Can I just say that Bangor are not alone in this, in recognising the additional needs that carers do have? The University of South Wales offers carers bursaries of £1,000 for full-time students and £500 for part-time; Cardiff University makes a bursary available of £3,000 to carers over the duration of their course; and Swansea University offer a carers bursary of up to £500. So, universities are aware of the challenges that this particular group of students meets. But I am concerned that we can do more, and that we should do more, to break down the barriers of pursuing further or higher education for those with caring responsibilities, hence the commissioning of this piece of work so that it can better inform us and the conversations that I have with the funding council and with our universities around what more they can do. Can I just say - ? This lunchtime - I'm not sure if the Member was able to attend - hosted by Hefin David, Cardiff University were here highlighting and showcasing some of their widening-access and participation work, looking to support asylum seekers, those children who are care experienced and those individuals with neurodiversity, who perhaps in the past have not felt that university was for them. There is much good practice, but the report will give us the information and the suggestions of what more we can do. But I would like to congratulate Bangor on their hard work in this area.
Welsh: Wel, yn gyntaf oll, a gaf fi achub ar y cyfle hwn i longyfarch Bangor ar y gwaith a wnânt i ehangu mynediad a chyfranogiad ar gyfer y grŵp penodol hwn o fyfyrwyr? Roedd y bwrsari £1,000 yn ymyrraeth arloesol iawn ac yn ffordd wych o dynnu sylw at Ddiwrnod Hawliau Gofalwyr, sef y diwrnod y gwnaethant lansio hynny a'r rhaglenni eraill sydd ganddynt yn swyddogol. A gaf fi ddweud nad yw Bangor ar eu pen eu hunain yn hyn o beth, o ran cydnabod yr anghenion ychwanegol sydd gan ofalwyr? Mae Prifysgol De Cymru yn cynnig bwrsarïau gofalwyr gwerth £1,000 i fyfyrwyr amser llawn a £500 i fyfyrwyr rhan-amser; mae Prifysgol Caerdydd yn darparu bwrsari o £3,000 i ofalwyr dros gyfnod eu cwrs; ac mae Prifysgol Abertawe yn cynnig bwrsari gofalwyr o hyd at £500. Felly, mae prifysgolion yn ymwybodol o'r heriau y mae'r grŵp penodol hwn o fyfyrwyr yn eu hwynebu. Ond credaf y gallwn wneud mwy, ac y dylem wneud mwy, i chwalu'r rhwystrau rhag dilyn addysg bellach neu uwch i'r rheini sydd â chyfrifoldebau gofalu, a dyna pam y comisiynwyd y gwaith hwn fel y gall wneud mwy i'n llywio ni a'r sgyrsiau a gaf gyda'r cyngor cyllido a'n prifysgolion ynghylch beth arall y gallant ei wneud. A gaf fi ddweud - ? Amser cinio - nid wyf yn siŵr a fu modd i'r Aelod fynychu - o dan ofal Hefin David, bu Prifysgol Caerdydd yma yn tynnu sylw ac yn arddangos peth o'u gwaith ehangu mynediad a chyfranogiad, i geisio cefnogi ceiswyr lloches, plant â phrofiad o ofal ac unigolion â niwroamrywiaeth, sydd efallai wedi teimlo yn y gorffennol nad oedd y brifysgol ar eu cyfer hwy. Mae llawer o arferion da ar waith, ond bydd yr adroddiad yn rhoi gwybodaeth ac awgrymiadau inni ynglŷn â beth arall y gallwn ei wneud. Ond hoffwn longyfarch Bangor ar eu gwaith caled yn y maes hwn.
