English: We're also working in partnership with the Wolfson centre at Cardiff University. This is a multi-disciplinary team aiming to understand the causes of adolescent mental health problems and inform new ways of supporting our young people. I'm very pleased that the centre has recruited young people with lived experience of mental health to join its new advisory group and I see this as a huge opportunity to ensure that mental health support for children and young people is informed by world-leading research. I also very much welcome the questionnaire that Rhun has put on his social media, and would be grateful if, when he has completed that, he could share the findings with me. I'm actually meeting Beat tomorrow to talk about their services and I'm pleased that Welsh Government has very significantly increased investment in Beat in recognition of the increase and acuity we've seen in young people presenting with eating disorders. In addition to this, ensuring that formal advocacy services are available for children and young people is also vital, and each health board has its own arrangements in place to offer this. In addition, there are, as I said, a variety of ways in which individual health boards have been working to support children and young people, including hosting young people's groups and producing a young people's charter that is consistent with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. I do, though, recognise that more work needs to be done to strengthen advocacy services for children and young people, because that work has been impacted by the pandemic, and just want to reiterate my commitment to driving that work forward. Peredur referred to the recommendations of the Children's Society, so I thought it would be useful to highlight the work that we're doing already to ensure that there is support for children and young people available at the earliest opportunity. Our current approach in Welsh Government has been informed by a number of key pieces of work, including the 'Mind over matter' report, the inquiry that I chaired and drove forward as Chair of the Children, Young People and Education Committee, and the whole-system approach task and finish group. It's also been informed by the national youth stakeholder group. This work has supported a whole-system approach, ensuring that this support is available across multiple settings to improve access and, vitally, those are settings where children and young people live their lives - in schools, in colleges and in youth services. Health boards are currently establishing single points of contact, which will help identify those young people who do not require specialist mental health support, but link them to appropriate support in the community. We're also finalising plans to pilot alternatives to admission for young people in crisis. Providing the right support in the right environment is essential, which is why, in March this year, we published a new statutory framework to embed a whole-school approach to support children and young people's mental health and well-being across Wales. Supporting implementation of the framework, we've agreed funding of £360,000 in 2021-22 to appoint implementation co-ordinators to work with schools and partners, supporting them to assess and address their well-being needs. As part of our whole-system approach, we've invested in child and adolescent mental health services school in-reach pilots. The final evaluation, published in June 2021, showed promising results, and, in particular, the support provided by dedicated mental health practitioners in building capacity within schools to support pupil mental health and well-being. And I'm pleased to say, Peredur, that, based on this positive experience, we are now rolling out this service across the whole of Wales, and, earlier in the summer, awarded almost £4 million in the current year to support national roll-out. We see the in-reach service as a key aspect of support under our whole-school approach and the statutory framework we published on 15 March. In the three-year budget period, 2019-20 to 2021-22, we've increased the budget to support our whole-system approach work by 360 per cent, demonstrating our commitment in this area. Nine million pounds has been committed to support this programme in 2021-22. This includes funding to extend and improve school counselling provision, support to deliver universal and targeted intervention for learners in schools, and to support the training of teachers and other school staff on their own and children's well-being. Earlier this year, we also published the NHS NEST, or NYTH, framework - nurturing, empowering, safe and trusted is what NEST stands for - and this framework provides a planning tool for regional planning boards to implement a whole-system approach for developing mental health, well-being and support services for children, young people and their families. We're supporting regional planning boards to implement the NEST framework in a systematic and integrated way across Wales and I'm holding regular meetings with health boards and will be visiting individual regional partnership boards across Wales to drive progress. Crucially, this will help provide appropriate emotional mental health support for those who do not need clinical support or intervention. Crucially, it will also be co-produced with children and young people and their families. We're also making good progress in terms of delivering on actions to improve mental health in youth work approaches. We've introduced additional flexibility into the youth support grant and national voluntary youth organisation grant. This has enabled local authorities in the voluntary sector to respond in a more agile way to the needs of young people to help support their emotional well-being and mental health needs throughout the pandemic. This includes online activities, keeping in touch and face-to-face contact for the most vulnerable young people. I do of course recognise the need to ensure that specialist services are available for those children who need that level of support. Building on our previous investment this year, we've committed an additional £5.4 million to improve CAMHS support both in the community and in our specialist CAMHS units in Wales. We've also invested in NHS crisis services and we're on track to have a 24-hour all-age single point of contact available for mental health crisis in all health board areas by April next year. This support will be critical in providing rapid access to a mental health practitioner to advise and support and to refer into other support if needed. So, in conclusion, acting Presiding Officer, I hope that I have been able to demonstrate today and give some reassurance that this issue remains top of my political agenda and that I'm absolutely determined to continue to drive this work forward. There is nothing more important than delivering on the mental health and emotional support needs of our children and young people. Diolch yn fawr.
Welsh: Rydym hefyd yn gweithio mewn partneriaeth â chanolfan Wolfson ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd. Tîm amlddisgyblaethol yw hwn sy'n ceisio deall achosion problemau iechyd meddwl y glasoed a llywio ffyrdd newydd o gefnogi ein pobl ifanc. Rwy'n falch iawn fod y ganolfan wedi recriwtio pobl ifanc sydd â phrofiad o broblemau iechyd meddwl i ymuno â'i grŵp cynghori newydd ac rwy'n gweld hwn yn gyfle enfawr i sicrhau bod cymorth iechyd meddwl i blant a phobl ifanc yn cael ei lywio gan ymchwil o'r radd flaenaf. Rwyf hefyd yn croesawu'r holiadur y mae Rhun wedi'i roi ar ei gyfryngau cymdeithasol, a phan fydd wedi'i gwblhau, byddwn yn ddiolchgar pe gallai rannu'r canfyddiadau â mi. Rwy'n cyfarfod â Beat yfory mewn gwirionedd i siarad am eu gwasanaethau ac rwy'n falch fod Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cynyddu'r buddsoddiad yn Beat yn sylweddol iawn i gydnabod y cynnydd yn nifer y bobl ifanc sy'n dioddef o anhwylderau bwyta, a pha mor ddwys yw'r anhwylderau hynny. Yn ogystal â hyn, mae sicrhau bod gwasanaethau eiriolaeth ffurfiol ar gael i blant a phobl ifanc hefyd yn hanfodol, ac mae gan bob bwrdd iechyd ei drefniadau ei hun ar waith i'w cynnig. Yn ogystal, fel y dywedais, mae byrddau iechyd unigol wedi bod yn gweithio mewn amryw o ffyrdd i gefnogi plant a phobl ifanc, gan gynnwys cynnal grwpiau pobl ifanc a chynhyrchu siarter pobl ifanc sy'n gyson â Chonfensiwn y Cenhedloedd Unedig ar Hawliau'r Plentyn. Fodd bynnag, rwy'n cydnabod bod angen gwneud mwy o waith i gryfhau gwasanaethau eiriolaeth i blant a phobl ifanc, oherwydd mae'r pandemig wedi effeithio ar y gwaith hwnnw, a hoffwn ailadrodd fy ymrwymiad i yrru'r gwaith hwnnw yn ei flaen. Cyfeiriodd Peredur at argymhellion Cymdeithas y Plant, felly roeddwn yn meddwl y byddai'n ddefnyddiol tynnu sylw at y gwaith rydym eisoes yn ei wneud i sicrhau bod cefnogaeth i blant a phobl ifanc ar gael cyn gynted â phosibl. Mae ein dull presennol o weithredu yn Llywodraeth Cymru wedi'i lywio gan nifer o ddarnau allweddol o waith, gan gynnwys yr adroddiad 'Cadernid Meddwl', yr ymchwiliad y bûm yn ei gadeirio ac yn ei yrru ymlaen fel Cadeirydd y Pwyllgor Plant, Pobl Ifanc ac Addysg, a'r grŵp gorchwyl a gorffen ar y dull system gyfan. Mae hefyd wedi'i lywio gan y grŵp rhanddeiliaid ifanc cenedlaethol. Mae'r gwaith hwn wedi cefnogi dull system gyfan, gan sicrhau bod y cymorth hwn ar gael ar draws sawl math o leoliad i wella mynediad, ac yn hanfodol, mae'r rheini'n lleoliadau lle mae plant a phobl ifanc yn byw eu bywydau - mewn ysgolion, mewn colegau ac mewn gwasanaethau ieuenctid. Ar hyn o bryd mae byrddau iechyd yn sefydlu mannau cyswllt unigol, a fydd yn helpu i nodi'r bobl ifanc nad oes angen cymorth iechyd meddwl arbenigol arnynt, ond sy'n eu cysylltu â chymorth priodol yn y gymuned. Rydym hefyd yn cwblhau cynlluniau i dreialu dewisiadau amgen yn lle ysbyty i bobl ifanc mewn argyfwng. Mae darparu'r cymorth cywir yn yr amgylchedd cywir yn hanfodol, a dyna pam, ym mis Mawrth eleni, y gwnaethom gyhoeddi fframwaith statudol newydd i ymgorffori dull ysgol gyfan o gefnogi iechyd meddwl a llesiant plant a phobl ifanc ledled Cymru. I gefnogi'r gwaith o weithredu'r fframwaith, rydym wedi cytuno ar gyllid o £360,000 yn 2021-22 i benodi cydgysylltwyr gweithredu i weithio gydag ysgolion a phartneriaid, gan eu cynorthwyo i asesu a mynd i'r afael â'u hanghenion llesiant. Fel rhan o'n dull system gyfan, rydym wedi buddsoddi mewn cynlluniau peilot mewngymorth ysgolion ar gyfer gwasanaethau iechyd meddwl plant a'r glasoed. Dangosodd y gwerthusiad terfynol, a gyhoeddwyd ym mis Mehefin 2021, ganlyniadau addawol, ac yn arbennig, y cymorth a ddarperir gan ymarferwyr iechyd meddwl penodedig i feithrin capasiti mewn ysgolion i gefnogi iechyd meddwl a llesiant disgyblion. Ac rwy'n falch o ddweud, Peredur, ein bod, ar sail y profiad cadarnhaol hwn, yn cyflwyno'r gwasanaeth ledled Cymru gyfan bellach, ac yn gynharach yn yr haf, dyfarnwyd bron i £4 miliwn yn y flwyddyn gyfredol i gefnogi'r gwaith o'i gyflwyno'n genedlaethol. Rydym yn gweld y gwasanaeth mewngymorth fel agwedd allweddol ar gymorth o dan ein dull ysgol gyfan a'r fframwaith statudol a gyhoeddwyd gennym ar 15 Mawrth. Dros dair blynedd gyllidebol rhwng 2019-20 a 2021-22, rydym wedi sicrhau cynnydd o 360 y cant yn y gyllideb i gefnogi ein gwaith dull system gyfan, gan ddangos ein hymrwymiad yn y maes hwn. Neilltuwyd £9 miliwn i gefnogi'r rhaglen hon yn 2021-22. Mae hyn yn cynnwys cyllid i ymestyn a gwella darpariaeth cwnsela mewn ysgolion, cymorth i ddarparu ymyrraeth gyffredinol ac wedi'i thargedu ar gyfer dysgwyr mewn ysgolion, ac i gefnogi hyfforddiant athrawon ac aelodau eraill o staff ysgolion mewn perthynas â'u llesiant eu hunain a llesiant plant. Yn gynharach eleni, gwnaethom gyhoeddi fframwaith NYTH y GIG - sef rhoi nerth, ymddiried, tyfu'n ddiogel a hybu - ac mae'r fframwaith hwn yn darparu offeryn cynllunio i fyrddau cynllunio rhanbarthol allu gweithredu dull system gyfan o ddatblygu gwasanaethau iechyd meddwl, llesiant a chymorth i blant, pobl ifanc a'u teuluoedd. Rydym yn cynorthwyo byrddau cynllunio rhanbarthol i weithredu fframwaith NYTH mewn ffordd systematig ac integredig ledled Cymru ac rwy'n cynnal cyfarfodydd rheolaidd gyda byrddau iechyd a byddaf yn ymweld â byrddau partneriaeth rhanbarthol unigol ledled Cymru i ysgogi cynnydd. Yn hollbwysig, bydd hyn yn helpu i ddarparu cymorth iechyd meddwl emosiynol priodol i'r rhai nad oes angen cymorth neu ymyrraeth glinigol arnynt. Yn hollbwysig hefyd, caiff ei gydgynhyrchu gyda phlant a phobl ifanc a'u teuluoedd. Rydym yn gwneud cynnydd da hefyd ar gyflawni camau gweithredu i wella iechyd meddwl mewn gwaith ieuenctid. Rydym wedi cyflwyno hyblygrwydd ychwanegol o fewn y grant cymorth ieuenctid a'r grant cyrff ieuenctid gwirfoddol cenedlaethol. Mae hyn wedi galluogi awdurdodau lleol yn y sector gwirfoddol i ymateb mewn ffordd fwy ystwyth i anghenion pobl ifanc i helpu i gefnogi eu hanghenion llesiant emosiynol ac iechyd meddwl drwy gydol y pandemig. Mae hyn yn cynnwys gweithgareddau ar-lein, cadw mewn cysylltiad a chyswllt wyneb yn wyneb ar gyfer y bobl ifanc fwyaf agored i niwed. Wrth gwrs, rwy'n cydnabod yr angen i sicrhau bod gwasanaethau arbenigol ar gael i'r plant sydd angen y lefel honno o gymorth. Gan adeiladu ar ein buddsoddiad blaenorol eleni, rydym wedi ymrwymo £5.4 miliwn ychwanegol i wella cymorth CAMHS yn y gymuned ac yn ein hunedau CAMHS arbenigol yng Nghymru. Rydym hefyd wedi buddsoddi yng ngwasanaethau argyfwng y GIG ac rydym ar y trywydd cywir i gael un man cyswllt 24 awr i bob oedran ar gyfer argyfyngau iechyd meddwl ym mhob ardal bwrdd iechyd erbyn mis Ebrill y flwyddyn nesaf. Bydd y cymorth hwn yn hanfodol er mwyn darparu mynediad cyflym at ymarferydd iechyd meddwl i gynghori a chefnogi unigolion a'u hatgyfeirio at gymorth arall os oes angen. Felly, i gloi, Lywydd dros dro, rwy'n gobeithio fy mod wedi gallu dangos heddiw a rhoi rhywfaint o sicrwydd fod y mater hwn yn parhau i fod ar frig fy agenda wleidyddol a fy mod yn gwbl benderfynol o barhau i yrru'r gwaith hwn yn ei flaen. Nid oes unrhyw beth yn bwysicach nag ateb anghenion iechyd meddwl a chymorth emosiynol ein plant a'n pobl ifanc. Diolch yn fawr.
