English: I think, in principle, it makes sense that there are structures that are responsible for gathering this data, and that they're responsible for packaging the data in a format that's appropriate for the education providers to be able to prepare the curriculum. I don't think we have opposition to the structures that are used. The only concern at the moment is - . There are two concerns: one is that the status of the partnerships is ambiguous - it's very difficult to find out what the depth of their work is at times. And it's difficult to know what their remit is. So we need an explanation, in a format that is publicly available, of what their role is, what they are allowed to do, so that we can engage with the sector in its entirety, so that everybody knows where they stand in the system. Then they need to have enough capacity to gather valid data and then feed that data into the system - again, in an appropriate format. And we have concerns in that regard, with regard to the Welsh language in particular, because, initially, perhaps the data isn't always reliable. This just goes back to the rates of responses to questionnaires and surveys. We know that those rates are relatively low on the whole. If you look at the Welsh language, then the questions on the Welsh language are towards the end of the survey. So, that's not entirely likely to engender the interest of people involved in the process. It's difficult in terms of how comprehensive the data is. Not every sector contributes at all times, or the Welsh language isn't mainstreamed across all of the partnerships. And there are also problems in terms of consistency. As you said, every partnership doesn't use the same methods of gathering data. For example, the partnership in north Wales doesn't use a survey at the moment at all to gather the data. We know that they are considering doing so, but, at the moment, they don't gather data like this through the survey or questionnaire format. And what kinds of questions are asked, to which employers? There's no consistency in that. So, there's no opposition to the partnerships doing this work and it's important that there is a body that does this, but we need to explain their remit, and to ensure that they have the capacity and the resources that are appropriate for their work.
Welsh: Dwi'n credu, mewn egwyddor, ei bod hi'n gwneud synnwyr llwyr bod yna strwythur sy'n gyfrifol am gasglu'r data yma, a'u bod nhw'n gyfrifol am becynnu'r data yma ar fformat sy'n addas ar gyfer darparwr addysgol wedyn i gynllunio'r cwricwlwm. Dydw i ddim yn credu bod gyda ni unrhyw wrthwynebiad bod strwythur fel hyn yn cael ei ddefnyddio. Yr unig bryder ar hyn o bryd yw - . Mae yna ddau bryder: un yw bod statws y partneriaethau a'u rôl nhw yn annelwig - mae'n anodd iawn darganfod beth yw hyd a lled eu gwaith nhw ar adegau. Ac mae'n anodd gwybod beth yw eu cylch gwaith nhw hefyd. Felly mae eisiau egluro, mewn fformat sy'n gyhoeddus, beth yw eu rôl nhw, beth maen nhw'n cael ei wneud, sut maen nhw i fod i ymgysylltu gyda'r sector yn ei chyfanrwydd wedyn, fel bod pawb yn gwybod lle maen nhw'n sefyll o fewn y system. Wedyn, mae'n rhaid bod gyda nhw ddigon o gapasiti i gasglu data dilys a wedyn bwydo'r data yma ymhellach i'r system - eto, ar fformat addas. Ac mae gyda ni bryderon o ran hynny, o ran y Gymraeg yn benodol, achos dŷn ni'n credu, yn y lle cyntaf, bod, efallai, data ddim yn ddibynadwy ar bob adeg. Mae hyn jest yn mynd yn ôl at yr ymateb i holiaduron. Dŷn ni'n gwybod bod yr ymateb i holiaduron yn eithaf isel ar y cyfan. Eto, os ydych chi'n edrych efallai ar y Gymraeg, mae'r cwestiynau am y Gymraeg yn nes at ddiwedd yr holiadur. Dyw hyn, efallai, ddim yn debygol iawn o ddenu diddordeb pobl sy'n mynd drwy'r broses. Mae yna broblemau o ran pa mor gynhwysfawr yw'r data. Dyw pob sector ddim yn derbyn sylw ar bob adeg, er enghraifft, neu efallai dyw'r sylw i'r Gymraeg ddim yn cael ei brif-ffrydio ar draws holl gyhoeddiadau'r partneriaethau. Ac mae hefyd problemau o ran cysondeb. Fel y dywedoch chi o'r blaen, dyw pob partneriaeth ddim yn defnyddio'r un dull o gasglu data. Er enghraifft, dyw partneriaeth y gogledd ddim yn defnyddio arolwg ar hyn o bryd o gwbl i gasglu data. Dŷn ni'n gwybod eu bod nhw'n ystyried gwneud, ond ar hyn o bryd, er enghraifft, dŷn nhw ddim yn casglu data fel hyn drwy fformat holiadur. Ac eto wedyn, pa gwestiynau sy'n cael eu gofyn, er enghraifft, i ba gyflogwyr? Does dim cysondeb o ran hynny. Felly, mewn egwyddor, does dim gwrthwynebiad i'r partneriaethau wneud hyn. Dwi'n credu ei fod e'n ddefnyddiol iawn bod yna gorff sy'n gwneud, ond mae'n rhaid egluro hyd a lled eu gwaith nhw, a hefyd sicrhau bod ganddyn nhw adnoddau a chapasiti hefyd sy'n addas at bwrpas.
